Free Chocolate Cake

This cake is egg free, dairy free, nut free and low gluten, provided you use whole wheat flour. I found the base recipe when we were running short on eggs and I needed to make a chocolate cake that didn't use them. The result was so good that it has become the only recipe we use for chocolate cake in our house, eggs or no eggs. It also makes great cupcakes.

Ingredients

3 cups fresh whole wheat flour     2 cup raw sugar

2 tspn baking soda                          2 tspn salt

2/3 cup cocoa                                   1 cup olive oil

2 cup water                                        a few drops vanilla extract

2 tbsp vinegar

1. Mix all ingredients together until moist and well blended.

2. Pour into a buttered and floured cake pan and bake for 20-25 minutes at 180 degrees. Top with Chocolate Fudge Icing.
