Ingredients
6 oz Self-Raising Flour
2 oz Cocoa
2 teaspoons of Baking powder
6 oz Castor Sugar
6 tablespoons of melted Margarine
225 ml (8 fluid Oz) Soya-milk (alpro/sweetened is very nice for this !)
1 teaspoon of Vanilla essence


(1) Set over at 170 degrees Centigrade
(2) Grease and stick a circle of paper in the bottom of 2 x 18 cm sandwich-tin cake tins
(3) Put margarine in a saucepan over a low heat, until it melts
(4) Put flour, baking powder and cocoa into a bowl, then ass the sugar, melted margarine, soya milk and vanilla essence (mixing the vanilla essence with the soya milk before putting it in works well, I think)
(5) Mix everything into a smooth batter, then pour that into the two cake-tins
(6) Bake for about 25 minutes, until the middle of the cakes are lightly springy to touch gently
(7) Flip out the cakes onto a wire-rack. then leave them to cool for a while before removing the paper (and them)
