    I make this recipe using sugar substitute and applesauce instead of the oil. I use regular white vinegar instead of balsamic and whole wheat flour. What I've done to make it an easy-to-eat treat is instead of using a pan, I pour batter into muffin tins for 12 single serving treats. 66 cals each! - 3/18/08

    This is my absolute fave chocolate cake! I'd caution people about using Splenda in this, however - it changes the consistency totally.

    Also, I always make it in the pan - just stir the dry ingredients together, make 3 dents, add the liquids, stir, bake. Wonderful!

    I found this on spark people a few years ago and I make it all the time. I always have the ingredients handy and it's my go to cake when I need something for a party. People don't know it's vegan until I tell them. I suggest serving with fresh raspberries or raspberry sauce. - 4/6/09
