I have fallen in love with this recipe!! So many vegan cake recipes have a ridiculous amount of oil or are really dry and awful. This is perfect! Low on oil and effort. Please, if you're still deciding to try this recipe or not - just do it! It will not disappoint. - 13 Aug 2012
It's so true what they say about Vegan cakes. They're the best! Very easy, all in one bowl and stir. - 15 Oct 2011
I can't express how awesome this recipe is! I have used it about three or four times since I first tried it and altered the ingredients to suit, because the basic 'cake mix' part is just perfect: it's light and moist without falling apart like so many vegan cakes I've done before have a tendency to do. - 02 Mar 2011
