DAIRY-FREE & EGG-FREE CHOCOLATE CAKE
Heat oven to 350.
Grease pan(s) with an allergy safe food if you are making this for someone with food allergies. We have luck with most Pam sprays and or dairy-free margarine also works.

1.5 c flour
1 c sugar
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vinegar
1 tsp vanilla
1/3 cup oil
1 c cold water
Combine ingredients by hand or with a mixer. We use our KitchenAid Stand Mixer because it gets out all the flour lumps well. Pour batter into greased pan or muffin cups.

Bake approximately 30 minutes in oven until done, when cake springs back to the touch or a toothpick comes out clean. Time varies on the pan you use.

DAIRY-FREE & EGG-FREE HOMEMADE FROSTING

1/4 cup chilled dairy-free margarine

1/4 cup chilled shortening

1-3/4 cup powdered sugar

1 tsp. vanilla

Mix chilled margarine and chilled shortening with a mixer, in a chilled bowl. Add vanilla. Slowly add powdered sugar. Put in frig to chill before icing, if necessary.

You can make this soy-free by using soy-free margarine like Earth Balance. They make a soy margarine, too, so make sure you get the right one.
DAIRY-FREE STORE-BOUGHT FROSTING

If you want frosting from a tub, Pillsbury Creamy Supreme has been dairy-free but does contain soy. It comes in flavors of Chocolate Fudge, Classic White, and Cream Cheese. Be sure to check labels because ingredients can change!
