Chocolate Cake With Peanut Butter Icing

For my friend's birthday, I made him this. He loves peanut butter so I decided to put it on a cake! It contains no dairy or eggs.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1/3 cup cocoa
• 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
• 1 cup cold water
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1/3 cup oil (I used sunflower)

• 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
• 1 cup icing sugar
• 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup margarine

Directions

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Put all ingredients in a bowl in order given, then stir (not too much!) and pour into a square cake pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Easy!

For Icing: Stir everything till smooth. Ice cake when cooled.

I sprinkled the entire cake with cake sprinkles (coloured ones) and placed happy face round birthday candles on it.
