Enhanced vegan chocolate wacky cake (my friend Barbara's recipe)

This is an absolutely yummy cake. I've eaten it, but not yet made it. Very useful for vegan visitors even if you are not vegan yourself. (It really doesn't need eggs). It has the consistency of chocolate fudge cake)

3 cups of wholemeal or plain flour

2 cups of brown sugar

¾ cup of good unsweetened cocoa powder

2 tspns baking powder

1 cup or more of unsweetened desiccated coconut ( optional )

½ teaspoon salt or a pinch

3 teaspoons vanilla essence

2 tablespoons cider vinegar

¾ cups oil (canola or similar )

2 cups of strong coffee

Method

Mix together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder and salt (and coconut)

Make a well in the middle

Add oil, vinegar and vanilla

Add the coffee

Stir/beat well

Grease and flour a low, oblong baking tin( about 33 x 23 cm)

Bake at 350/180 for about 20-25 minutes or until a knife comes out clean .

Check after 15 mins .

To keep it moist, don’t overcook. 

 It works well with nuts too.

Cut into squares when cool.
