Whacky Vegan Chocolate Cake
Prep time: 15 Mins
Cook time: 32 Mins + 1 Hr Cooling
Yields: One 8 or 9 Inch Cake OR 8 Cupcakes
a..
1 and 1/2 cups Unbleached All Purpose Flour (I used Bleached)
b.. 3/4 cup Sugar
c.. 1/2 teaspoon Salt
d.. 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
e.. 1/4 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder (I used Hersheys)
f.. 1 and 1/2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
g.. 1/3 cup Canola Oil
h.. 1 tablespoon White Distilled Vinegar
i.. 1 cup Cold Water
Ingredients For Pudding Mix Frosting:
a.. 1 cup Cold Milk
b.. One 4oz Pack Instant Pudding Mix, Any Flavor (I used Oreos cookie flavor)
c.. One 8oz Container Thawed Cool Whip (I used Fat Free)
Cake Procedure:
1.. Preheat the oven at 350F/180C for 15 minutes. Lightly oil the cake pan
you are using.
2.. Stir together all the dry ingredients (flour to cocoa powder) and create
a well in the center.
3.. To the well add all the wet ingredients one by one. Mix until just
combined. Don't overmix. It's ok to have some lumps.
4.. Pour the batter in the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a
toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Mine was done by 24 minutes. If
baking cupcakes, check around 13-15th minute.
5.. Cool completely on a wire rack. I left it for an hour.
6.. To remove the cake from the pan, run a sharp knife around the inside of
the pan to loosen the cake.
7.. Cool completely before frosting. Actually frosting is not even necessary
for this moist cake. You may simply dust with confectioner's sugar and top with
fresh raspberries.
Frosting Procedure:
1.. Pour milk into a large bowl. Add the pudding mix. Beat until fluffy for 2
minutes.
2.. Blend in the thawed Cool Whip thoroughly.
3.. Frost the cake/cupcakes and refrigerate it at least for 3-4 hours before
serving.
My Notes:
1.. For Cake: I read that apple cider vinegar is better than white distilled
vinegar when it comes to baking, because you will not even have that very mild
smell or after taste I was referring earlier.
2.. For Frosting: This frosting is not very sweet, but it was perfect with
the cake and for us. We don't like overly sweet cakes and frosting.
3.. For Frosting: This measurement will be right for a 13×9 inch cake or a
layer cake.
