The first time I tired it I almost had a little food freak out its soooo good! I had to share. It’ll be perfect for the upcoming fall season, and it’s a really is a simple recipe (and cheap too!).  ;) 

What You’ll Need (Cake)

1/2 cup Soy Milk

2 Tsp Apple Cider Vinegar

1/2 cup Vegan Margarine (softened)

1 cup Lite Brown Sugar

1 can Solid-Pack Pumpkin

1 Tsp Pure Vanilla Extract

2 cups All-Purpose Flour

2 Tsp Baking Powder

1 Tsp Baking Soda

1/2 Tsp Salt

1 1/2 Tsp Ground Cinnamon

1/2 Tsp Ground All-Spice

1/2 Tsp Ground Nutmeg

(Chocolate Glaze)
3/4 cup Vegan Semisweet Chocolate Chips (I use Ghirardelli)

2 Tbl Vegan Margarine

1 cup Confectioners Sugar

1 - 2 Tbl Soy Milk

I personally think that if you’re doing this for a Halloween get together a few Halloween themed sprinkles on top would be uber cute. Just an idea ;)

What To Do (Cake)

First thing, go ahead and grease a pan. For a nice presentation use a Bundt pan (and it’s easier to serve that way), but if you’re simple like me a regular 9x13 in pan gets the job done. Set the oven to 350d and get ready to cook!

In a small bowl combine the Soy Milk and Vinegar and set aside.

In a large bowl, cream together the Margarine and Sugar until fluffy (2~3 mins). Now, I know you might be thinking, “Fluffy?” But mix it until it looks close to the picture below. I put some flour on my hands and use them to mix. They are after all, your best tools in the kitchen!

Add the pumpkin and vanilla and beat until mixed. Stir in the Soy Milk Mixture and Beat until smooth.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the Flour, Baking Powder, Baking Soda, Salt, and Spices. Add the flour mixture to the pumpkin batter, about 1/3 at a time (mixing each time), until everything is mixed together.

(I wish I had taken a picture of this, but alas I did not. Sorry. It looks just like normal cake batter at this point.)

Pour it all into a pan and bake for ~30 Minutes (or until a toothpick comes out *of the center* clean). Cool completely.

What To Do (Glaze)

In a medium saucepan, melt chocolate and margarine over low heat and stir.  

Remove from heat and beat in the sugar. Gradually add the soy milk until the glaze is pourable. When the cake is completely cool, pour on the glaze.

My favorite thing to do is heat a slice in the microwave for 5 seconds then put some vanilla ice cream on top. YUM!

Hope you like it! Enjoy! :)
