There are certain occasions that you just really want some good old fashioned cake, like a birthday party. Well this one is from the Betty Crocker Cookbook, it has no animals products in it. You could substitute the white flour for wheat flour, or maybe a non-gluten flour? I don't know if that would work or not. You can also substitute the white sugar with a natural sweetener too. You could also try apple sauce instead of vegetable oil, although I didn't test that with this recipe. Play around with it to make it as healthy as you want.
1 and 1/2 cups all purpose flour -not self-rising
1 cup sugar (I used turbinado)
1/4 cup cocoa (I used carob powder)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup vegetable oil (I used canola)
1 teaspoon white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup cold water
Preheat oven 350. Grease and dust your pan with flour.
Mix dry ingredients.
Mix oil, vinegar, and vanilla. Quickly add oil mixture and cold water into the dry ingredients, mix vigorously for 1 minute or until well blended. Immediately pour into pan and put in oven.
Bake 30-35 minutes, test with toothpick in center.
Cool 15 minutes.
