German Chocolate Cake (Family Favorite!)
Monday, June 7th, 2010
Chocolate Cake Recipe:
- 1.5 cups flour
- .5 cups oil
- 1 cup sugar (or less…depending on your sweet tooth)
- 1.5 tsp. baking soda
- 3 tbsp. coco powder
- .25 tsp. salt
- 1 cup soy milk
Directions:
Use electricmixer or whisk with fork in bowl until fully mixed, then bake at 375 for 25-30 minutes in a lightly greased pan.
Traditional German Frosting Ingredients:
1 stick Vegan margarine (1/2 cup)
3/4 cup unrefined sugar
1 1/2 cup shredded coconut
1 cup pecans
1/2 cup soy milk (chocolate soy milk is fun!)
1 teaspoon vanilla
Directions:
Boil together all ingredients in a medium to large saucepan over medium-high heat for 12 minutes, stirring constantly with a wooden (or plastic) spoon. Pour then spread on cake while frosting is still warm. Let set up for a few minutes before serving (sets up faster if you cover it and place it in the fridge).
For a full birthday cake try making two chocolate cakes and doubling the frosting recipe. Then put one cake on the bottom, put a medium thick layer of frosting on top and place the second cake on top. Frost the top and the sides thickly and place in the fridge.
