SO HOW'D IT GO?

This cake is amazing. We enjoy it with a spread of apricot jam and chocolate icing. It is one of our favorite cakes and whoever tried it asked for the recipe.

I doubled the recipe but did not double the oil in it, just added 2/3 cup of oil and it still came out moist and wonderful as before. It yielded a lot of serves and was gone quickly again.

I was really excited to find this recipe because I had the exact same one scribbled onto an index card from several years ago (titled "Simple Chocolate Cake) and used to make it for every gathering I went to. Then I lost the card. Yesterday was my 10 year Veganiversary and I made this to celebrate! It is every bit as delicious as I remember!
