Excellent Vegan Wacky Cake

[AppleJunkie]

Frosted the Wacky Cake with Coffee Frosting (omg mocha cake...)

Coffee Frosting:
1/3c margarine
3c powdered sugar
1tsp vanilla
1-2T soymilk blended with 1-1.5T instant coffee granuals

Blend together, adding more soymilk or sugar as necesary. Frost. Makes enough for 2 rounds or 1 large sheet cake.  Excellent.  Divine, even.  A grown-up delight, even for non vegans. (Obviously. Gosh it's good.)

*Drool running all over keyboard* Divine and Decadent!!
I used 4 tbsp of carob powder, and subbed the water for a cup of cold strong coffee made with a french press. I then iced it with the coffee icing above, only modified slightly (1/3 cup coconut oil, 2 cups icing sugar, 1 tsp pure vanilla, 2 tsp strong coffee).
My grandmother (the 'master baker' of the family) even gave high praise, and she's super picky!
Thanks for submitting the recipe, has to be an all time fav. of mine!
 :DIm wacky for wacky cake!

This cake is FANTASTIC! It's super-moist and oh-so-yummy! I added vegan semi-sweet chocolate chips to the batter and sprinkled a few on top of it before I stuck it in the oven. I also put a little bit of chocolate syrup on the cake right out of the oven, so it soaked through.

My co-workers are flipping over this cake!

i made this cake this morning. i made it with a pan that has 8 twinkie-shaped cups and frosted it using a chocolate frosting from this site http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=6603.0

i subbed some of the ingredients. i used part whole wheat flour and part whole wheat pastry flour, and istead of the oil i used 3 tbsp margarine and 2 tbsp apple sauce and it came out very yummy

would this work well with fresh lemon juice in place of the vinegar? i've heard the two are interchangeable as catalysts for the type of reaction that is needed in baking, so i'd like to try that instead.

I've made this cake over and over again, and it never fails.

This time, I tweaked it a bit to fit a caffeine-addled, coffeeshop-workin', buddy-o-mine.

I replaced the vanilla extract with almond extract. I took a 1/2 a cup of water mixed with a 1/2 cup of brewed coffee and used that in place of 1 cup of water.

On the top of the cake, I made a chocolate-coffee frosting, and sprinkled chocolate chips and walnuts on top. Yum

Thank you for this wonderful recipe!  It is now the regularly requested birthday cake at our house!  Our favorite way is to use a chocolate mint glaze over the top with dark chocolate shavings sprinkled over top.

this recipe makes wonderful cupcakes!  I only used about 2 T of oil, and subbed about half of the water with very strong brewed coffee.  then I topped them off with a simple cinnamon+coffee+sugar glaze.  delish!

This made the most fantastic cupcakes I've ever made. I used a thicker version of the soy whipped cream as filling from here--> http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=6268.0 and frosting from from here --> http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=14454.0

I'll never miss little debbie's again. I call them deathcakes and I vow to only make a maximum of four batches per year.

I made this cake last night at 11:30 pm when I was having a sugar craving meltdown. I kinda didn't measure things accurately, I was in a rush(smile). Anyway, the cake was done in 30 mins, soft, moist and most of all very tasty. I added rum and vanilla extract. I'm going to experiment with some other extracts next time. Very good recipe, taste is over the top with vegan ice cream. Thanks for the recipe. I used brown sugar and it was sweet enough for us.

This was awesome! Usually vegan cakes are dense and don't stick together well because of the lack of eggs, but this tasted like it wasn't vegan, you rule!!!

We enjoy this..it's very similar to the super moist chocolate cake...but maybe this is somehow a little better! I followed the recipe, but added vegan chocolate chips to the batter, and then took the advice about the chocolate syrup on top after it came out. I think it will be even better when it's cooled a little (we can never wait to cut it!). : )
