Quick & Easy Chocolate Cake

 

My frosting has a little butter but you can use vegan butter. Always aerate your flour before measuring.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 30 minutes

Total Time: 40 minutes

Makes: 8 servings

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 cup sugar (works with 2 1/2 Tablespoons less sugar)

• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (preferably Dutch-processed)

• 1 teaspoon baking soda (not baking powder)

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1 cup cool water

• 6 Tablespoons vegetable oil (I use avocado oil)

• 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice or distilled white vinegar

• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan.

2. Sift dry ingredients into a bowl and set aside.

3. In a measuring cup combine water, oil, juice or vinegar, and vanilla.

4. Add liquids to bowl & gently stir until there are no lumps (about 30 seconds).

5. Pour into pan and bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

6. Cool completely in the pan and frost, glaze, or dust with powdered sugar.
