CHOCOLATE CAKE!
*/end shouting*
I made this for me and my brother since our b-days are 2 days apart (there's actually 3 of us born within the same week--yes, my parents apparently only shacked up once a year in the spring, and then they were done for the rest of the year). We ate it while half-groggy and slightly tanked.
It is the easy chocolate cake from Vegweb. And boy was it easy. *COUchocolateSLUT'SmorelikeitGH*
I was able to bake it in two cake pans. It was nice and moist. And it was delightfully chocolatey.
I topped it with the fluffy buttercream frosting from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World which is like the best frosting recipe ever. Half the frosting I added crushed oreos to, so as you can see, the cake is half and half.

I used your oreo recipe to create the best frosting ever. I made a chocolate/vanilla checkerboard ROUND cake for my husband's birthday, and this oreo frosting was the best. We had wedding-size slices for about a week and we cried a little inside when it was gone lol
This looks worth getting fat over. I'm in. Thank the gods that made oreo cookies 'naturally' vegan. God bless chemicals.
I agree with Nik! If this is the cake presented to me in my birthday, I definitely want to get fat!
Getting fat as we speak. Totally worth it. I'm not even vegan, but we have lots of vegan friends coming to my man's birthday. This cake might convert me.
