This is a delicious, light fluffy chocolate cake without a hint of animal produce! Great to make with kids, this is a pretty foolproof recipe. Challenge your guests to guess what's missing! This is a recipe I originally submitted to Oxfam and was published on their now defunct Cool Planet site about 10 years ago.
This can very easily be made gluten free by using gluten free flour and baking powder. You may need to increase the amount of water you add, as gluten free flour can be more absorbent.
I made this recipe yesterday for my daughter who is vegan. It was so easy to make and was huge... We all tried it and it was delicious, as good and if not better than a regular chocolate cake - 16 Nov 2014
Easy to make and extremely good, wouldn't know it's vegan, used lemon juice instead of the white wine vinegar... - 03 Jan 2015
This is one amazing cake! I made this for my sisters wedding as there was a handful of vegan guests. It quickly became known as 'the little chocolate cake'. It was even demolished before the actual wedding cake. I'm going to make it again for a birthday at work but not tell anyone it's totally vegan. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!! - 09 Nov 2014
