This cake is super yummy, even if your not vegan. I used to work at the Arcata Co-op and we'd get cake tops and broken bits. I would always snack on this cake. It comes in handy when you have so many vegan friends who have a B-day and need a cake to celebrate with. Try layering with raspberry jam for and extra special kick. Sorry about the ridiculous measurement of 5/8 cup... I was just following the recipe.
1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1 1/2 cups unbleached white flour
3/4 cup unsweetened coca powder
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
2 cups cold water
2 cups brown sugar
5/8 cup safflower oil
1 TBS vanilla
* Mix flours, coca, salt, and soda together.
* In a separate bowl disslove sugar in water, then mix in oil and vanilla.
Add dry ingredients and mix well.
* Pour into two greased 9 inch pans
* Bake at 350 for 25- 30 minutes
