VEGAN CHOCOLATE CHIP BANANA CAKE
This vegan delight came to The New York Times by way of Chloe Coscarelli, the vegan chef and cookbook author. The tender loaf is gently spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger and dotted throughout with dairy-free chocolate chips. Bonus: It's versatile. You can make it in a Bundt pan, a 10-inch loaf pan or in a muffin tin (it makes about 18 muffins). To quote one happy reader: "Delicious! Like my platonic ideal of chocolate-chip banana bread." High praise, indeed.

Steps:
- Cake: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly brush two 8-inch round cake pans with oil; set aside.

CHOCOLATE PUDDING CAKE (VEGAN)
An upside down pudding cake from "How it all Vegan"....my first ever pudding cake, and it was pretty fabulous. I'm somewhat in awe of how simple it was....as we were putting it together it looked a little strange having never made one before, but it worked!! This is one of those cakes (desserts) you more than likely always have the ingredients on hand for. My 5 year old actually put this together aside from the boiling water part - it worked out just fine, lumps and all! The original recipe called for 1/2 cup margarine...I subbed oil. My only wish would be that the pudding part was a little "creamier", but I'm not sure how to accomplish that. I served this to non vegans tonight and they all enjoyed it, no mention of it being vegan or otherwise. Served with vanilla ice "cream".

- Clean and dry out your bowl then mix together the 3/4 cup of sweetener and the other 1/4 cup of cocoa. Sprinkle this evenly on top of the cake mixture.
- Carefully pour the boiling water over top of everything - and DO NOT MIX! it really does do it's own thing in the oven. Bake for 40 minutes and enjoy!

BASIC CHOCOLATE CAKE MIX-VEGAN, SPELT
Mininum ingredients, easy to make and healthier than many oily cake mixes. I am posting this so that I can get the nutritional information. It makes a great vegan cake, brownie, muffins or pudding depending on what you add. For a denser fudge cake add up to one cup of dark chocolate chips. some other favourites of mine are 2/3 cup of chopped nuts, cherries, coconut etc. You can reduce the cocoa slightly for a less chocolately cake. Also you can use normal wheat flour. Without any oil it really does benefit from some chocolate chips. Another thing I like to do is make up the dry mix in batches and put it in jars in bags and then all I need to do is sift it into the wet mix or give the dry mix away as gifts in nice jars. It is also nicer the nice down and because of the moistness from the applesauce it keeps well, freezer and defrosts and heats up beautifully especially if making puddings.

VEGAN CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH VEGAN ICING
I love chocolate and this easy dessert really is a winner with my family. Its really chocolaty and satisfies my sweet tooth. I made my cake in two 8" round cake tins, but you can use other tins as I've mentioned in the directions. If you use ground flax as your egg substitute mix 2 tbsp. ground flax seeds with 6 tbsp. water, that equals 2 eggs. Make sure you let this sit until the flax is like a gooey liquid. Beat it with a hand mixer to help it congeal.

VEGAN LOW FAT GERMAN CHOCOLATE CAKE
I need to play around with this more to be able to judge the results in all situations. It was from Vegetarian times for the original. Why post it? Because the others like the Moosewood while good isn't good for a specialized low fat diet and the one who has the problem has a chocolate tooth that won't quit. So for special treats such as a birthday, this is a solution. This way you can have your cake and eat it too.
