CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH MOCHA FROSTING
This is the best chocolate cake and this frosting goes well with it. I like this cake as it contains no eggs and can be made with things I have on hand. The cake recipe is the Moosewood Cake and the frosting is a modified Hershey recipe. The original Moosewood Cake has 1/2 cup oil and no applesauce and I think it is better made with applesauce for half of the oil.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Generously oil an 8-inch square or round baking pan and dust with a little sifted cocoa or line the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa, soda, salt, and sugar.
- In another bowl, combine the oil, applesauce water or coffee, and vanilla.
- Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until well-blended and smooth.
- Add the vinegar and stir briefly; the baking soda will begin to react with the vinegar right away, leaving pale swirls in the batter.
- Without wasting any time, pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes.
- Cool for 20 minutes, then frost with frosting.
- For the frosting, combine powdered sugar, cocoa, butter and vanilla in large bowl; beat until combined.
- Dissolve 1 teaspoons instant coffee in 1 tablespoons milk and add to frosting.
- Add additional milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating to desired consistency.
- About 1-1/4 cups frosting.
- For Vegan use only soy milk and only a vegan [non dairy] margarine.
