Vegan Chocolate Cake

(I found this recipe on a print-out a church while I was cleaning. I’m not sure who it’s from, but I appreciate their generosity in sharing it.)

“Vegan chocolate cake! If it’s vegan, it must be good for me, right?”

Oh, how I wish that were the case. Please ignore all the refined carbs and empty calories in this cake and just enjoy it.

Cake:
3 c. all purpose flour
2 tsp. baking soda
6 Tbsp. cocoa
1 tsp. salt
2 c. sugar
3 Tbsp. vinegar (I used white balsamic, as that’s all I had)
2 tsp. vanilla
¾ c. oil (I used vegetable)
2 c. cold water

Measure flour, soda, cocoa, salt and sugar into large mixing bowl. Add vinegar, vanilla, oil and water and mix well. Pour batter into greased 9 x 13 inch baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes. After removing cake, let cool, then drizzle with icing.

Icing:
1 c. powdered sugar
3-4 Tbsp. cocoa
½ tsp. vegetable oil
1/3 c. water (add more if needed)
