The Cake:
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons and 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup water
1 tsp chocolate syrup
1/4 tsp coconut extract
Mix all dry ingredients. Sift. Add oil, water, and vanilla extract. Add butter extract. Mix well. Add syrup, mix again. Spoon batter into small crème-brulee dishes. Cook in a pie pan with another dish, filled with water, for 30-35 minutes - a little undercooking is the key, here.
The Frosting:
Thanks to Susan V. at fatfreevegan.com for the inspiration for this frosting!
1/4 cup soymilk
1 1/2 tablespoon coconut milk cream
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 1/2 tablespoon water
1/2 cup coconut
1/4 cup pecans (optional)
Put first four ingredients into saucepan. (NB: to get the “cream” of the coconut milk, simply don’t shake the can. Allow to sit overnight upright, and then scoop the cream off the top.) Mix cornstarch and water, add. Boil until the mixture thickens and becomes opaque. Remove from heat. Add coconut flakes and nuts, if desired.
