In case you haven't yet heard: I've given up eggs. It's been slow going, (Vinnie made a paprikash that I had to get in on, and there have been various cookie incidents. I don't want to talk about it) but I'm finding my way. So while on iTunes (a while ago now) I found a little upstart vegan cooking vlog called Vegan A Go-Go. It's crazy wonderful, and since most of my classes are from 12 to 4, I can usually catch what Jess (the vlog front woman) puts up in the morning, and can get whatever I need to make it on my way home.
This little ditty, has been made successfully a few times at my house. It's really good, and the recipe doesn't call for some crazy hippy ingredients that I don't have on hand. As a matter of fact Vinnie and I made this cake the other day—just because we had all the ingredients!
Jess' Vegan Chocolate Cake
1½ c. all purpose flour
1 c. sugar
¼ c. cocoa powder
1 t. baking soda
1 c. water
⅓ c. vegetable oil (I use butter)
1 t. vanilla
1 t. white vinegar
Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour a 9"x5" (or 9" round) pan liberally. Combine dry, add wet, mix. Bake for forty-five minutes.
While making this cake I put together a little tofu frosting. I know it sounds disgusting, but it isn't I swear. I blend it with my power-stick, use something comparable.
Tyler's Tofu Cream Cheese Frosting
½ block firm tofu
½ c. sugar
½ block cream cheese
¼ c. cocoa powder
2 T. honey (can be omitted)
Blend.

is it dark chocolately??? from the recipe, it looks like it is
looks delicious...but are honey and butter vegan?
I suppose it is dark, but if you add enough sugar to just about anything it'll taste good.
Honey and butter, are of course not vegan, but then again neither am I.
