Vegan Chocolate Chipotle Cake

Cameron and I love the vegan chocolate chipotle cake at Radical Eats so I decided to try to make one at home.  I found a recipe online and changed it up a bit and it turned out great.
Here is the recipe:
1 1/4 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup baking cocoa (unsweetened)
1 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. chipotle (this was a little too much)
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tbsp white vinegar
5 tbsp vegetable oil (I used almond because that's what I had)
1 cup cold water

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease a 9 inch cake pan.
In a large bowl combine all the dry ingredients. Add the vanilla, vinegar, oil and water and stir until just combined.
Pour into the cake pan and bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick or knife inserted in the center comes out clean.


Just coming out of the oven.

Waiting to cool.

It was almost as good as the cake from Radical eats. Theirs may be a little better because of the icing. This one was definitely more spicy. Probably too spicy for most people. If I make this again I will use 1/2 tsp. of chipotle.

Rescue Chocolate


I just found this really great organization, Rescue Chocolate http://www.rescuechocolate.com/ that makes vegan chocolate and donates 100% of their profits to animal rescue organizations. This month, because of Easter, all of their proceeds will go to the House Rescue Society http://rabbit.org/ HRS rescues rabbits from shelters and educates people about the care and behavior of rabbits. They have launched a campaign called "Make Mine Chocolate" to encourage people to buy chocolate rabbits instead of live rabbits for Easter.

The chocolate rabbit pictured is one of the many vegan chocolate items for sale through Rescue Chocolate.
