vegan chocolate cherry cake

By greeneyes718

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 c all-purpose flour
• 1 c and 2 tbsp sugar
• 6 tbsp cocoa powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 1 c cold water
• 1/4 c vegetable oil
• 1 tbsp white vinegar
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 1 c cherries, chopped in half and pitted

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°. Grease and flour a 9″ cake pan. Sift together the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients. (Don’t just add them directly as you don’t want the reaction to begin prematurely.) Stir til just mixed; some lumps are okay, and the batter will turn lighter in color. Fold in the cherries and pour quickly into prepared pan. Bake 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Don’t be tempted to peek before 20 minutes have passed, or your cake may not rise properly!
