Wacky Cake aka Vegan Chocolate Cake - Recipe

Wacky Cake aka Vegan Chocolate Cake

For years this has been the standard go-to vegan chocolate cake.

I usually double the recipe for a birthday cake.

1.5 cups plain flour (Can use gluten free flour is needed)

1.5 teaspoons baking powder

1 cup sugar

2 Tablespoons cocoa

1 teaspoon baking soda

6 Tablespoons oil

1 cup water

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 Tablespoons vinegar

Preheat oven to 180 degrees C.  Line a tin.

Mix the dry ingredients with a whisk then add the combined wet ingredients. Spread into a lined tin and bake 45 – 60 mins until a skewer comes out clean.

When cold, ice with melted dark chocolate mixed with coconut cream.

Can be decorated with chocolate curls, nuts, ginger, dried apricots etc.

For a peppermint flavour – ice with Whittakers Dark Ghana  Peppermint chocolate.
