This is from a very special lady, Ang. Amongst her many gifts, she was a talented baker. This is my go-to birthday cake recipe, and baking it brings back the love and warmth she radiated.
This cake can be made dairy-free and is also egg free.
2 1/2 C flour
2 C sugar
1/2 C cocoa
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 C warm water or milk
1/2 C oil
2 Tbspn vinegar
2 tsp vanilla essence
Sift the dry ingredients. Add the wet ingredients. Stir until just mixed. Bake at 180oC for 35 minutes or until cooked through.
