Simple Chocolate Cake (egg and dairy-free)
1 1/2 cups flour
3 T cocoa
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup white sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup cold water
5 T oil
1 T vinegar
1 tsp vanilla extract
Mix the dry ingredients and the wet ingredients separately. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and add the wet ingredients. Beat until smooth.
Bake at 350 degrees:
15-18 minutes for cupcakes
22-25 minutes for cake
I just used a plain buttercream recipe for the icing, and added a little red food colouring to make it pink. I can't find the recipe anywhere, although I got it in a Martha Stewart magazine and it is basically unsalted butter and icing sugar and vanilla extract - mixed for a good long time.
Delicious!!!
