Easy Chocolate Cake

Sorrie Lue's Note:

This is the simplest cake I have ever made but you can easily dress it up and look impressive. I have been making this for over 20 years and only recently realized it's vegan! Just top with powdered sugar or fruit instead of whipped topping.

For such a simple cake, this cake works out very well. I made as directed using Kittencal's Chocolate Frosting/Icing to frost. Thank you for sharing your recipe, Sorrie Lue!
