What is a good HOME MADE vegan chocolate cake recipe?

i want all the things in the cake to be natural or organic but i dont know what substitutes i can use for eggs and butterWhat is a good HOME MADE vegan chocolate cake recipe?
Smart Balance spread (we use the light) or soy margarine can be used for butter. (I don't use things like regular margarine because it contains hydrogenated oils.) Apple sauce or any purred fruit can be used for eggs. (Apple sauce can be used for oil, too.)





This is the chocolate cake recipe I use for potlucks. (It's also known as Wacky Cake.) Actually, I think I'm going to make it tomorrow, if I decide to not try the brownie recipe my husband wants me to try.

I use whole wheat flour, ten generous tablespoons of cocoa, and apple sauce for the oil.


This is the frosting recipe I put on it:

I start with what is there, but keep adding cocoa and chocolate soy milk (I use chocolate soy milk instead of vanilla if I have it) until I have enough for the cake. Tomorrow, since I've got it, I think I will put chocolate chips on the frosting after I frost the cake.





I take this to potlucks and I get compliments on it. I figure if I introduce them to vegan foods with something as yummy as a chocolate cake, then the rest might be easy. Besides, it's fun to share the cake as I'm normally not a junk food person. (i.e., I shun the cookies at the church's coffee hour on Sundays.)What is a good HOME MADE vegan chocolate cake recipe?
It may not be all natural or organic, but I use Earth Balance buttery sticks (vegan) or Willow Run sticks in place of butter.





For eggs, you have several options. My favorite is Ener-G Egg Replacer, a mix of starches and leaveners. It comes in an ugly orangey box and lasts forever.





Many vegan cookbooks also have egg replacer strategies; check one of them out.
There is a vegan chocolate cake recipe on the vegan family website.

You can also buy vegan margarine and egg replacements, this particular recipe doesn't need them, and instead uses baking soda and vinegar to replace the eggs.





Hope this helps :)
You can buy vegan margarine(Look through the different 'smart balance' ones till you find a vegan one, they have a few) and you can use the ener-g egg replacer, works great for baking- http://www.ener-g.com/store/detail.aspx?鈥?/a>
