How to Prepare Special Dark Chocolate Cake [Vegan]
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- To make the cake, mix ingredients from first list together and let sit for 5 minutes.
- Sift in the rest of the ingredients and stir until smooth. Taste it to make sure it's to your liking.
- Pour evenly into two 9 inch cake pans lined with foil.
- The batter should be pretty shallow in both; that's because you're going to be making 4 layers.
- Bake for about 10-15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- While they're baking, make the icing. Blend all the ingredients together until smooth. Set aside.
- When done baking, let the cakes sit out in the pans for 10 minutes. Then take them out and use a giant cookie cutter (big circle) to cut out 4 cake circles - 2 from each cake.
- Put the bottom layer onto something you can easily transfer it with later. Then frost each layer and finally the top and sides. Hurraw!
