Chocolate Stout Cake
8 07 2008I made this months ago and it’s amazing and happens to be vegan. I wanted to post it here so that I don’t lose it and so that others can share in the awesomeness. I got this recipe from someone on Ravelrywho found it online somewhere. Enjoy:
Vegan Chocolate Stout Cake
- 2 cups sugar (I reduced the sugar by about 1/2 cup)
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 c cocoa
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 3/4 c oil (I used a little less; maybe about 2/3 c)
- 4 tsp vinegar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 bottle (12 oz) beer (I recommend a dark stout or chocolate stout; I used Young’s Double Chocolate Stout)
- 1/2 c water
Sift all dry ingredients together into a large bowl and make three wells in the dry mixture (one large and two small). Pour the oil into the large well, and the vinegar and vanilla into each of the small wells. Pour beer over mixture, add water, and mix well.
Bake at 350F for 35 – 45 min. in lightly oiled pan.
Here’s a photo of the finished product dusted with powdered sugar. I really need a nice cake pedestal or something…

Morning Glory Muffins
2 07 2008These muffins were so amazing that I needed to post the recipe here. Unfortunately, they were so amazing that they were all eaten before I had a chance to take a photo. We just moved into our new house and whenever someone stopped by to check it out they had a muffin and then took one for the road. They freeze well (I’m told) and make an awesome quick breakfast.
- Clean-out-the-Fridge Morning Glory Muffins
- In a large bowl, combine the first eight ingredients. In another bowl, beat the eggs, applesauce, orange juice, oil and vanilla. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in the carrots, pecans, coconut, raisins and apple.
- Coat muffin cups with nonstick cooking spray or use foil liners; fill three-fourths full. Bake at 350 degrees F for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.
