Well the name says it all. This is the richest chocolate cake around. To make it a 2 layer cake, multiply the ingredients by one half and divide into 2 seperate springform pans. If you don't have springform pans, cover the bottoms in parchment paper or it will stick.

Equipment: springform pans, 2 good sized bowls, a wisk, saucepan Ingredients 3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour 1 cup all purp unbleached flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 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 2 teaspoons vanilla Directions 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. Combine the other liquid ingredients in a bowl and whisk well. Add the cocoa mixture and combine. Add the wet ingredients to the dry. Pour batter into prepared pan, bake at 350 F for 25 minutes until a toothpick or butter knife comes out clean. Let cool completely and frost with your favorite frosting.
