Vegan Chocolate Cake

I was playing around with a chocolate cake recipe, when I decided to try to make it vegan...I was very impressed and so were the people who ate it! I will post pictures next time I make it! Note: The flour and sugar do not have to be unbleached, I just do that because it sounds healthier to me :]
