Ingredients
- For the Cake:
2 1/4 cups flour
1 3/4 cups sugar
3/4 cup cocoa
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
2 cups soy milk
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 cup vegan mayonnaise (try Nayonaise)
1/2 cup applesauce
- For the Creamy Chocolate Icing:
1 lb. confectioners’ sugar, sifted
1/2 cup margarine, softened
3 Tbsp. cocoa
1 tsp. vanilla
4 1/2 Tbsp. soy milk
Directions
- For the Cake:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray 3 8-inch round pans with nonstick cooking spray and lay parchment paper on the bottoms.
- In a medium-size bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine the soy milk, vanilla, “mayonnaise,” and applesauce until smooth.
- Slowly add to the dry mixture and stir to combine. Pour into the prepared pans and bake for 35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool before icing.
- For the Creamy Chocolate Icing:
- Using a hand mixer on medium speed, beat the ingredients together in a large mixing bowl until well blended.
- To assemble:
- Slice the rounded top portion off each cake, creating a level surface.
- Place 1 cake on a cake plate and frost the top. Place another cake on top and frost, then place the last cake on top.
- Frost the sides and top of the entire cake.
