Original Chocolate Cake (No Eggs or Milk)

Ingredients

• 3 cups flour, sifted
• 2 cups sugar
• 1 packet baking powder
• 1/2 cup raw cocoa powder
• 2 tsp baking soda or baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp vanilla
• 2/3 cup vegetable oil
• 2 cups warm Nescafé (water and Nescafé)
• 1 tbsp vinegar
• Melted chocolate, Nutella or cream, for topping

Method

1. Mix the dry ingredients well, mix the wet ingredients, then add the wet to the dry gradually.
2. Pour into a buttered non-stick tin and leave a minute to level.
3. Bake in an oven preheated to 180°C from below for about 35 minutes without opening the door. Check with a skewer, which should come out clean. Turn off the oven and open the door so the cake comes to room temperature, then remove, cool slightly, and add a layer of melted chocolate or Nutella. Cool completely, then add another layer or decorate with cream.
