Recipe - Modifications To Joy Of Cooking Chocolate Cake

None

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, energ egg replacer for eggs. To make it
really chocolatey, I halve the sugar amount, add an extra 1/4One half 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.
