After a very busy 4 weeks, I finally have time to bake again! Today I really felt like cake and remembered an amazing recipe that I was sent a few weeks ago - dairy and egg free chocolate cake. My mother in law makes a very similar cake called crazy cake, but I have found my new recipe to be tastier and lasts longer. This recipe uses some random ingredients but they are all generally in my cupboard so is quick and cheap to make.
Ingredients
1 1/2 Cup Self raising flour (sifted)
1/3 Cup Cocoa powder (sifted)
1/2tsp Baking soda
1/2tsp Salt
1 Cup Sugar
1/2 Cup Veg/rice bran oil
1 Cup Cold water
3tsp Vanilla/Peppermint essence
2tsp Vinegar
Method
Preheat oven to 190*.Mix all dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Mix wet ingredients in a separate bowl (except vinegar).Pour wet into dry gently mix. Add vinegar and stir to blend. Pour into cake tin and bake for 45 minutes.
I then sliced the cake in half and added raspberry jam. I iced it with chocolate icing as well - yum!
