My birthday’s coming up so I’m mostly putting this here as a reminder for myself.

Chocolate Cake Recipe (with substitutions below):

Note, if you want a two-layer cake, you’ll need to double this. 

• 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup cane sugar
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
• 1 cup water

Icing Recipe (with substitutions):

Note that this is plenty for a double batch of the cake above. If you’re just making a small batch of cupcakes, half this. 

• 1/4 cup Earth’s Balance “butter,” melted
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/3 cup dark chocolate almond milk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon orange extract
• 3-1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar
