Ingredients
FOR THE CAKE :1 1/4 cups flour1 cup sugar1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder1 tsp baking soda1/2 tsp salt1 cup warm water1 tsp vanilla extract1/3 cup vegetable oil1 tsp distilled white or apple cider vinegarFOR THE GLAZE:1/2 cup sugar4 tbsp vegan butter spread (or real butter if you're an omni)2 tbsp soy milk (or regular milk if you're an omni)2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder2 tsp vanilla extract
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, then grease an 8X8 square pan/dish.
Step 2: Mix together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, and salt with a whisk, making sure it is really blended together. Add the water, vanilla, oil, and vinegar, and again, mix until it's really well blended. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl if necessary.
Step 3: Pour the mixture into the pan and place in oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until a knife comes out clean. Cool on a rack completely (about 2 hours).
Step 4: For the glaze, in a small saucepan, bring sugar, butter spread, soy milk, and cocoa to a boil. Stir frequently; then reduce heat to a simmer for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir for another 5 minutes. Don't leave this step out, it will make your glaze grainy.
Step 5: Add vanilla, stir, and immediately pour onto cake. Glaze dries really quickly, so spread it immediately and add any sprinkles or topping now. Cool for one hour.
Makes 14 slices.
