Last Friday, I was feeling a bit depressed. I thought it might be a good time to try out Jun's Vegan Chocolate Cake recipe. Jun is the most amazing pastry chef in Los Angeles. He makes kick ass cakes and pastries. So I am a little bit scared to try his recipe as I might not be able to give it justice. But i did.
VEGAN CHOCOLATE CAKE
PRE-HEAT OVEN AT 350 DEGREES F.
2 cups brown sugar (dark is better)
1 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
3/4 cup cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
COMBINE ABOVE DRY INGREDIENTS IN A BOWL. MIX WELL.
1 cup soy milk
1/2 cup olive oil or vegetable oil
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
USING A HAND OR STAND MIXER, BEAT ABOVE WET INGREDIENTS FOR 2 MINUTES.
NO MIXER,BEAT IT BY HAND WITH A WHISK FOR 4 MINUTES.
STIR IN DRY INGREDIENTS TO WET INGREDIENTS.
1 cup boiling water
STIR IN BOILING WATER TO THE MIX.
SPRAY 2-9 INCH PAN WITH NON-STICK COOKING SPRAY.
DIVIDE THE BATTER BETWEEN THE TWO PANS.
BAKE FOR 20-30 MIN OR UNTIL TOOTHPICK IS INSERTED COMES OUT CLEAN.
VOILA! I think I scored an "F" for presentation, but I would give myself a B+ for taste!
