350C for 30-35 minutes in 20cm or so pan - this is made directly in the pan

Oil cake pan with ½ tsp oil

Sift into pan:

1 ½ c flour
1 c sugar
3 Tbl cocoa
1 tsp baking soda
Make three indents:
6 Tbl oil (olive)
2 Tbl vinegar (apple cider)
1 tsp vanilla
1 c water

Mix together and bake.  Doesn’t really need icing, but I prefer the white butter one – you might just want to suggest a dusting of powdered sugar, instead of the icing.
