Chocolate Chai Cake

This delicious chocolate chai latte from our local (hehe) coffee shop was so strongly chai, I decided to turn it into a cake to neutralize it.  And oh...my...yum!  I don't even like chocolate, but this cake is très delicious!

cake:
2 cups sugar
1 3/4 cups flour
2 tsp baking soda
3/4 cup baking cocoa
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp ground flax (or 2 egg substitutes)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 tbsp vanilla
1 grande Chocolate Chai Tea Soy Latte (without whip!) = 2 cups

frosting:
2 cups confectioner's sugar
2 tbsp Earth Balance
1 tsp vanilla extract
Up to 3 tbsp of soy milk (add one tsp at a time until you reach the desired consistency)

1: Preheat oven to 375
2: Mix all dry cake ingredients together until fully blended
3: Add 1/2 the chai latte (1 cup), vanilla and vegetable oil and stir until smooth
4: Heat the other cup of chai until boiling and add to the mixture (it will be very runny)
5: Pour mixture into a greased cake pan and bake for 30-35 minutes (I baked this for 35 minutes and it was perfect)
 5: Let cool completely before frosting
