Vegan Chocolate Cake
 
 
This recipe below will make 2-7" cake layers + 2-5" cake layers. You will then mix the recipe 1½ times again to make the 2- 10" layers.
Be careful of your math on a recipe for 1½X - this is usually where the recipes fails, POOR MATH or measuring skills!
No matter what pan size you are using though, fill pans half full!
