Method

  • PREPARATION
  • 1. Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees C / 350 degrees F.
  • 2. Mix and sieve together FLOUR, BAKING POWDER, COCOA, SALT and SUGAR.
  • 3. Mix OIL and WATER, stir into dry ingredients, add SYRUP and beat until smooth.
  • 4. Grease SANDWICH TINS and line bases with a circle of GREASEPROOF PAPER. Press paper into base then flip over so that oiled side is facing upwards.

  • BAKING
  • 5. Bake for 15 minutes.
  • 6. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before removing from tins.
  • 7. Make the FILLING:
  • 2 OZS VEG. MARGARINE
  • 2 OZS LIGHT MUSCOVADO SUGAR
  • 1 OZ COCOA
  • 1/2 TSP VANILLA
  • Beat the MARGARINE with sieved SUGAR and COCOA to a cream and add vanilla.
  • 8. Use to sandwich the sponge cakes together.
  • 9. Top can be left plain or covered with a thin layer of dark vegan chocolate (half of 100g bar melted in heatproof jug in hot water) and patterned with a fork.

  • Tips

    • Can be rather crumbly - eat with a cake fork!
      Nice as a dessert with Swedish Glace non-dairy icecream or served with soya milk chocolate custard.
