Modifications To Joy Of Cooking Chocolate Cake

INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

I've had good results modifying the 'quick oil cake' in the Joy of
Cooking. If you have the book, make all of the usual substitutions:
applesauce for oil, defatted cocoa for cocoa, ener-g egg replacer for
eggs. To make it really chocolatey, I halve the sugar amount, add an
extra 1/4-1/2 c. of cocoa. I usually double the recipe because my
housemates can snarf the whole cake in 12 hours (which acts as a  major
control on my consumption :-) . If you don't have the book, and  want
the recipe, let me know and I'll write one up and post it.  For
frosting, I just mix up a little rice milk, cocoa, and powdered  sugar
and make a glaze, and pour it on the warm cake so it soaks in a  bit.
