1 1/4 cups sugar
1/2 cup sucanat
1/4 cup date sugar
2 t baking soda
1/2 t sea salt
7 T cocoa powder

METHOD

Preheat oven to 180C/350F.

Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl, mixing well to break up the cocoa powder evenly.

Note: The three sugars listed are interchangeable in any amount as long as the total sugar for the recipe equals two cups.

Pour maple syrup, vinegar, and melted shortening over the dry ingredients. Add cold water immediately and stir vigorously until all lumps are gone.

Oil and lightly flour muffin tins or add paper cups to the trays. Fill with chocolate cake batter to roughly 3/4 full (batter will rise). Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick stuck through the middle of the cake comes out clean.

Let cool completely and frost with your favorite vegan frosting.

Enjoy!!

Greetings I make this recipe last week with my family it turned out great I had changed the recipe a little. This is what I have changed:
1. Backing Soda to Backing Power.
2. Added one Egg Replacer.
3. Added about 6 chocolate Chips. ****Pour half of the Muffin mix into cups, Add the Cholate Chips. Pour the remaining mix into cups, then bake.
Icing/Frostin if preferred.
