This vegan cake is super moist and super chocolatey, so be prepared for bliss. You'll have leftover cake and icing.

Cake

Frosting

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!
