SO HOW'D IT GO?
J & W Farm has a similar cake mix that is gluten free & vegan. It takes water, vinegar, vanilla, & oil in addition to the dry mix. Super moist, everyone enjoys it, and great tasting. We use the apple cider vinegar for a better taste. Thanks
I just baked and ate a piece. No frosting the first time. It was easy and quite tasty. The only thing I did differently was use ice water. There was a good chocolate taste, the internal texture was even and slightly fluffy, and the skin was a pleasant contrast to the inside. Next time, I might use 1.25-1.5 times the cocoa powder and I'll add frosting. Hm. Maybe I'll try adding some instant coffee powder or brewed and chilled coffee in place of the water. Oh yeah, I oiled the pan, but didn't flour it.
I have a question. Other than all-purpose flour, what other type of flour can be used? I know nothing about a vegan's diet but is all-purpose flour vegan acceptable? I have a new co-worker whose birthday is 8/30/13 & I want to make him a cake but I want to be sure all-purpose flour is acceptable.
Has anyone tried this with almond or rice flour? I have a vegan sister in law who is also allergic to wheat.

This recipe was fantastic!
Perfect! I made a 2 layer cake today with this recipe and it turned out surprisingly good.
I've made this cake many times with a mixture of flours and subbing mint extract for the vanilla. YUM!!! ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS grease and (lightly) flour pans!!
I used apple cider vinegar, and the cake was delicious.
