directions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F Lightly grease a 9-inch cake pan.
  • In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and baking soda. Stir in the cinnamon, cayenne, vanilla, vinegar, oil, and water. Mix until just combined.
  • Pour into the prepared cake pan and cook for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool.
  • Dust with the confectioners’ sugar before serving.
  • Note: This recipe goes great with a spicy dark-chocolate sauce. To make the sauce, melt 2 squares of dark chocolate with 1/4 cup water or soy milk. Stir constantly until the chocolate is melted. Stir in 1/2 cup sugar and cook, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in 3 tablespoons vegan margarine, 1/2 teaspoons vanilla, and cayenne pepper, to taste.

  1. Let me tell you, this cake is a far cry from being "moist or delicious". After reading the recipe I thought it would be fun to make for the Mexican-Styled Party we were attending. Everyone at the party had a very small pierce of the cake and no one said it was good because it wasn't. If you are looking for a so-so brownie recipe and not a cake recipe than this is the recipe for you.
     
  2. I just made this tonight and it's such a lovely cake! Just the right amount of spice to give it some "oomph" and the texture is quite nice and light and a little fluffy. Thanks for a yummy recipe :)
