I am about to bestow upon you the most delicious, fantastic, holy-shit-are-you-kidding-me-this-is-vegan?!?! cake recipe in the world. Yeah. It’s that awesome. So awesome, in fact, that the carnivores liked it too. So awesome, in fact, that they liked it better than Betty Crocker cake. If the only thing you do this week is make this cake then your life will be complete. I’m totally not shitting you.

The End All And Be All Of Chocolate Cake Recipes

3 Cups Flour

2 Cups Sugar

6 Tablespoons Cocoa

2 Teaspoons Baking Soda

1 Teaspoon Salt

3/4 Cup Vegetable Oil

2 Tablespoons Vinegar

2 Teaspoons Vanilla

2 Cups Cold Water

Mix the dry ingredients. Add the wet ingredients. Stir until smooth. (I used my KitchenAid mixer.) Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Makes: 2 layers or one 13×9. Frost when cool. I did a 13×9 and it took longer than 30 minutes…I’d say it was closer to 45. I just kept checking it every five minutes or so until it was done.

The frosting I made was mint buttercream because it was my brother’s birthday cake and he loves himself some mint. I used 2/3 cup shortening, some (probably about 2 cups…maybe a little less) powdered sugar, a small amount (likely 1/4 cup or so) almond milk, and about a tablespoon (maybe more) of peppermint extract. The measurements are estimated because I kinda just eyeballed it until it was frosting consistency.

This cake recipe is the only cake recipe you ever need. Vegan or not. You seriously need to try it.
