Don’t let the word Vegan scare you !!! This cake is delicious. it does not have any eggs or diary which is why it is vegan of course. But, everyone ate it & did not even realize, not that it should matter really, but you know how it is, some people are leery of new things. At first there were a few skeptics, but once they tasted it …. they were won over by the rich chocolate flavour of this cake.
Made in a square pan & baked for 30 minutes, this is the perfect cake to make when you really want some chocolate cake.fast! I put a quick icing on it that I used non-dairy margarine in, also make in the food processor.
There recipe is from Norene Gilletz. It is in her cookbook, THE PLEASURES OF YOUR PROCESSOR. This book is my bible. My copy is tattered & worn out. i should replace it but there is something so nice about my messy book. Doodled on & in… I just have to take it up & it will hold it together!!
Here is the The Pleasures of Your Food Processor by Norene Gilletz (1985-10-08)link to the cookbook on Amazon. You can click on the link & have a look at it.
