SO HOW'D IT GO?
This recipe was fantastic!
Perfect! I made a 2 layer cake today with this recipe and it turned out surprisingly good.
I've made this cake many times with a mixture of flours and subbing mint extract for the vanilla. YUM!!! ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS grease and (lightly) flour pans!!
I used apple cider vinegar, and the cake was delicious.
You think it'd be okay to use apple cider vinegar instead of normal vinegar?
TRIED A SIMILAR RECIPE AND THE THING CLUNG FOR DEAR LIFE TO THE PAN. DO YOU GREASE THE PAN BEFORE PLACING THE BATTER INTO IT? I KNOW IT'S A DUMB QUESTION BUT THE OTHER RECIPE STATED TO PLACE THE BATTER INTO AN UNGREASED PAN.
Yes, I would definitely grease the pan, for any cake recipe. I also flour it: after you grease it, dump a small amount of flour in and shake it around the pan until a small coating of flour sticks all over. Dump out the excess.

I have made this recipe 3 times now. Once as cupcakes which were very good. Two times I made cakes. Both of my cakes fell apart. I allowed them to cool, but as I removed them from the pan they fell apart. Can anyone suggest what I might be doing wrong? The only change I made to the recipe was 1/2 all purpose flour and 1/2 whole wheat flour.
Yum yum...especially with coffee substituted instead of plain water... :)>>>
Sooooo Easy to make... I substituted water for strong coffee..... and topped with frosting... yum!
Thanks..
p.s.. used this as a birthday cake.... I just love seeing peoples faces when they realize its vegan..."what no eggs?!"
