Vegan Chocolate Cake/ Chocolate Frosting

Time to get a little dessert on this recipe blog...  Nothing better to start with than a chocolate cake!

3 c. flour
2 c. sugar (I use a little less)
1 t.  salt
2 t. baking soda
1/3 c. cocoa powder (I use a little more)
2 c. water
2/3 c. unsweetened applesauce
2 T vinegar
2 t vanilla

Mix dry; mix wet; combine.  Pour into greased 9X13 pan.  Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes.

*I have heard that you can leave out the cocoa powder and make this a vanilla cake, but why would you want to do that?


Chocolate Frosting:
1/4 c. vegan butter
2 c. powdered sugar
3 T cocoa powder (again, I use a little more.  I like chocolate)
1 t vanilla
2 T milk

mix all together, adding more milk for desired consistency.

  1. I just need to have you make this for me. It is yummy! What is vegan butter? Is it something like smart balance?
