One of the first vegan foods i ever made was a chocolate cake, man was that stressful, i made it for my bff Emily's birthday. and as if it wasn't hard enough to have to swap out ingredients i was so used to using such as egg, milk butter....BUTTER .( i actually remember sitting in the kitchen holding a box of butter and thinking how the hell do i replace this? ) i also was making it for her family to enjoy, who are all vegan!  so if this cake tasted crappy they would know.
i had also heard a few times before that if you feed a vegan animal products they would become very  ill, well, i thought, hope i don't kill someone today, i suppose that would be a memorable birthday though. Fortunately i found a recipe that not  only  looked delicious  but with some baking experience it seemed  easy enough that i could make it.
everyone seemed to enjoy the cake a lot and some even had seconds! yay

this recipe comes from :http://vegetarian.about.com/od/vegancakerecipes/r/choccakevegan.htm if you are looking for a cake, i really liked this one.

This easy vegan chocolate cake recipe comes from Iona. Iona and her daughter loved this vegan chocolate cake so much that they wanted me to share it with everyone! It uses vinegar instead of egg replacer, so it's a great vegan chocolate cake recipe if you're all out or can't find any egg replacer.
