Vegan Chocolate cake.
125g creamed coconut (grated)
50g coco powder
650ml boiling water
400g SR flour
1tbspn baking powder
pinch salt
275g light muscavado sugar (again, I use what I have so usually a mix of dark and demerera!!)
200ml ground nut oil. ( I use sunflower oil, it is cheaper and still works fine)
Method:
pre heat oven to 180 degrees.
Dissolve the creamed coconut in boiled water, allow to cool. ( I dissolve it in 1/2 boiling then add 1/2 cold.... but I am impatient!)
Mix all dry ingredients in a big bowl. (sift flour and coco)
add oil to coconut water mix (now cool)
add the liquid to the dry and mix well. (I use an electric whisk, esp. if I didn't bother sifting) It a makes a totally liquid batter, but trust me it works!!
divide between 2 tins and cook aprox 1hr. or until skewer comes out clean.
Icing..
50g coco powder
50 g margarine
45ml water
200ml icing sugar (sieved)
Melt the margarine and add the water then coco and icing sugar and mix well, it will form a lovley paste. Smear in the middle of the cake.
I love a really outrageous cake so double the icing ingredients and smother the whole cake on top as well as in the middle!!
This is such a wondefful recipe it makes nice cupcakes too with icing on top. it is very messy to eat with little ones though so cover up well!!
My favorite way to eat this is warmed with ice cream (Sweedish Glace) it is sooo nice. mmm might have to go and make this later. :drool: :bleh: :bleh: :bleh: :drool:
