Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups flour, sifted

  • 1 cup sugar

  • 4 Tbsp. cocoa powder

  • 1 tsp. baking soda

  • 1 tsp. cinnamon

  • 1/2 -3/4 tsp. cayenne pepper

  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract

  • 1 Tbsp. distilled white vinegar

  • 5 Tbsp. vegetable oil

  • 1 cup cold water

  • Confectioners’ sugar for garnish

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9-inch cake pan.
  • In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and baking soda. Stir in the cinnamon, cayenne, vanilla, vinegar, oil, and water. Mix until just combined.
  • Pour into the prepared cake pan and cook for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool.
  • Dust with the confectioners’ sugar before serving.

Notes

  • Note: This recipe goes great with a spicy dark-chocolate sauce. To make the sauce, melt 2 squares of dark chocolate with 1/4 cup water or soy milk. Stir constantly until the chocolate is melted. Stir in 1/2 cup sugar and cook, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in 3 Tbsp. vegan margarine, 1/2 tsp. vanilla, and cayenne pepper, to taste.
