Vegan Chocolate Cake

For her birthday, "V" asked me to bake a cake from scratch. I had to oblige. She is not vegan by any possible definition of the word. Not a vegetarian either. She is a true meat lover. Still, I made two cakes: one regular, and one vegan. This recipe is for the vegan one.

Fried burritos with mango chutney

Since I'm leaving in a few days (I'm going to D.C. for the rest of the week), I decided I had to clean my fridge of all the food that might spoil during my absence. Also, a friend of mine challenged me to make something I've never made before, something requiring a special trip to the store, or a squash-based soup.

I told her that, since I'm leaving, I don't want to buy more food that might spoil. I didn't feel like eating squash soup either, so I finally decided to use an ingredient I've never used in cooking before: mangoes!
