Ingredients:
3 cups flour
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons baking cocoa
3/4 cup oil
2 cups cold water
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 tablespoon vanilla
1/2 cup powdered sugar (optional)
2 tablespoons baking cocoa (optional)
1/2 teaspoon decaf instant coffee (optional)
1 -1 1/2 tablespoon milk, of choice ( works with regular, soy or rice or whatever) (optional)
1/4 teaspoon almond extract ( I usually use almond, but have tried & like coconut, orig. glaze recipe calls for peppermint) (optional)
Directions:
Instructions for Cake:.
Mix dry ingredients together in large bowl.
Mix wet ingredients together in separate bowl.
Add wet to dry a little at a time, stirring as you add.
Pour batter into WELL-GREASED bundt cake pan (well-greased is key–this is a sticky cake; I use Pam with great results), bake at 350 for 35-40 minute.
Serving suggestions: with fresh whipped cream& strawberries, or drizzle with warm caramel or Kahlua, or glaze with mocha glaze (or some combo thereof!).
Instructions for Glaze:.
Mix dry ingredients together in bowl.
Dissolve coffee in 1 tablespoon of milk; add extract.
Whisk coffee liquid into dry ingredients; whisk until all blended and if needed, add 1/2 tablespoon more milk.
USE GLAZE IMMEDIATELY OVER CAKE. It will harden quickly.
