Yummy Dairy Free Chocolate Cake - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups self-raising flour
1 cup plain flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup cocoa
3/4 cup boiling water
3/4 cup cold water
2 teaspoons vanilla essence
3/4 cup oil
2 eggs

Preparation

Combine dry mix and wet mix - mixing until smooth. (You can afford to be a LITTLE generous with liquid measurements (for a extra moist cake), but NOT the dry measurements!).
Pour into greased tin and bake for 170 deg C, for 55mins, or until you can poke it with a knife and it comes out clean.
To decorate you can ice as normal, OR lay out strips of baking paper on top of the cake, then sift icing sugar over top of the cake, lift the baking paper off slowly (strip by strip) and then you will have a pretty pattern.
