Sloppy Seconds

This cake is pretty sloppy, but very good (hence making you want to go back for seconds).
Hooray for puns!
Really though. It's very rich, extremely chocolatey, and my roommates had no idea it was vegan.

Sloppy Seconds Chocolate Cake

2c white sugar
1 3/4 c flour
3/4 c unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1tsp salt
2 egg replacers (I used Ener-G)
1 c almond milk
1/2 c canola or vegetable oil
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 c hot coffee
1/2 c boiling water

Pre-heat oven to 350F. Grease and flour two 9in round pans (don't settle for just spraying the pan - the cake will stick if you don't use flour).
Mix together dry ingredients.
Add egg replacers, almond milk, oil and extract. Beat with mixer for at least 2 minutes.
Stir in coffee and boiling water by hand.
Pour into pans and bake for 35-40 minutes.
Let cool completely before removing from pan.


Chocolate "Buttercream" Frosting

1/2 c EarthBalance vegan butter
3/4 c unsweetend cocoa powder
3 1/3 c confectioner's sugar
1/4 c almond milk
1/4 c soymilk creamer
(you can use 1/2 c almond milk or 1/2 c soymilk creamer if you don't have both)

Beat softened butter with mixer to break it up. Add everything else and beat until you have frosting. You can add more or less confectioner's sugar to make your desired consistency.
