Chocolate Cake or Cupcakes

Vegans can have their cake and eat it too!  I know that is corny but this eggless cake is amazing.  I had another recipe that I thought was great also, but this one has become number one. The best part is that it is so easy to make and you don't even need to drag out the electric mixer.  You can just stir it well with a large spoon and you're done. It makes a 9"cake or 8 cupcakes....double recipe for a double layer cake.  Frosting recipes to follow. Another recipe from the Colleen Patrick-Goudreau http://www.compassionatecooks.com/
