I'm Back!!!

I did not realize how much writing meant to me until I was away from it for 8 weeks. I did my best to jot notes here and there, but with limited free moments, it took a permanent place on the back burner.
Duncan and I were on a shoot for 7 weeks in the Faroe Islands for the Sea Shepherd Ferocious Isles Campaign. It was an amazing experience and I cannot wait to share it.
I have several blogs that I am furiously working on and will post as soon as possible.
In the meantime please enjoy this yummy vegan chocolate cake recipe!

YUMMY VEGAN CHOCOLATE CAKE

Cake Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup warm water
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp distilled white or apple cider vinegar

Mix all dry goods together in a bowl and create a hole in the middle. Pour the liquid ingredients into the hole. The vinegar will react with the baking soda and bubble
(making a light a fluffy cake). Mix all ingredients and pour into a greased baking pan (round or square).
Bake at 350 F for 20-25 minutes.
Let cool.

Frosting:
1/2 cup sugar
4 tbsp margarine
2 tbsp soy milk
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tsp vanilla extract

Pour the margarine, sugar and soy into a sauce pan and stir over low heat. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Turn off and continue to stir until sauce thickens. Let cool.
Pour glaze over cake and serve!
If you are feeling wild and crazy make another cake and use frosting in between the layers and over the top.
Enjoy this delicious, but healthier dessert!
