Rich Chocolate Cake

Ingredients

3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour

1 cup all purp unbleached flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

3/4 cup good cocoa powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup plain soymilk

1/2 cup canola oil

1 1/2 cups pure maple syrup

1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray a 9 inch springform pan with non stick cooking spray.

Sift together flours and baking powder and baking soda.

In a saucepan, heat the soymilk on low-medium heat. When it is slightly bubbling, add the cocoa powder and wisk well until it is dissolved. Remove from heat.
