Easy Vegan Chocolate Cake

Submitted by Red Hook

"Super yummy and super quick, this chocolate cake is accidentally vegan! It can be made from scraps found around most kitchens. To make cupcakes instead, just fill a cupcake pan (greased and floured or with cups) 3/4 full and bake for 20 minutes instead."

Very tasty cake! I made cupcakes as suggested in your intro and got 10 good-sized cupcakes from 1 batch of mix. These were nice and chocolatey but not overly sweet. I thought they might be really dense but they were actually fairly light and moist. Thanks for sharing your recipe! Made for Fall PAC 2012
