SO HOW'D IT GO?
This cake looks very nice and easy. I am thinking of making this one for my boyfriend's birthday this weekend. I have one question, though. What do you mean with vanilla? Vanilla extract (liquid), a powder? Around here vanilla-related baking products are mostly vanilla sugar, which is basically a small papery bag with a few grammes of vanilla flavoured sugar. Could I use that or is it a specific product?
I think this cake is perfect. Goes well with frosting or vanilla soy dream... Love that it doesn't need soymilk, since I hardly ever have it. I usually make it into cupcakes and only bake it for 20mins.
:o when i made this cake it came out so bad! it came out dry, hard and pretty bitter! :( i dunno what happend the mixture looked perfect........
anyone got any ideas?
Sameblood - did you double-check that you used all the ingredients, sounds like maybe you didn't have enough milk. Also - double-check the temp in your oven with an oven thermometer. Mine is aboutl 15 degrees cooler, so it took an extra ten min of baking. Good luck!
This cake was awesome! I put this peanut butter frosting on top: http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=15134.0 :o
Oh man, what a great idea. I need to make this ASAP.
This cake is the best. I make it now for every occasion and everyone raves about it. Thank you so much for this recipe.

So when I told my SIL (an incredible cook) that I was going vegan, she said that vegans aren't any fun because they can't eat chocolate cake. :(
So I read all the reviews of all the vegan chocolate cakes I could find, and decided to make this one - also the first time I've ever made any kind of cake from scratch in my life. Let me tell you, it took about 5 minutes to mix together and came out tasty, cakey (as opposed to browniesh), moist, and won the SIL's resounding approval! ;D
Adaptations: just to be sure she liked it, I increased to 3/4 cup cocoa, and mixed in carob chips.
agilchrist: what kind of frosting did you put on it, regular white, or like creamcheese?? thanx!
