Chocolate Weird Cake

I've renamed this cake. It is now called Chocolate Weird Cake in honor of Teresa Favuzzi who recently passed away. She was a strong disability rights activist and a kind and generous person. She often sang a song "weird is good." The recipe is a good one to make with grand kids as it all happens in the pan you bake it in. I've made this recipe for so many years that I've long since forgotten from where it came. This is a vegan cake.
