Gluten Free Chocolate Cake

 

Ingredients.

 

300g Doves Farm Gluten Free Plain Flour

100g. caster sugar

1 teaspooon of bicarb

100g of cocoa

2 large heaped tablespoons of coconut oil (it's solid in this country though!!)

1 small courgette or half a large one (yes you did read that right, it's not a

mix up with a pasta sauce recipe!)

2 tablespoons of golden linseeds

soya milk, rice milk or water to mix

a teaspoon of vanilla extract

2 tablespoons of golden syrup

100g walnuts (optional)

dash of vinegar

 

Mix your dry ingredients together. Melt your coconut oil (if in a cold

climate!). In a blender combine the courgette and linseeds with a bit of soya

milk until fairly smooth (doesn't matter if some small lumps). Mix in the

coconut oil, linseed/courgette goop, golden syrup and vanilla and beat until

nice and smooth adding as much soya/ricemilk or water as you need for a good

batter. Add walnuts if using and finally a dash of vinegar, well mixed in,

before going in the oven at 200C/400F for about half an hour or until a skewer

comes out clean. Picture is iced with chocolate fudge icing and decorated with

whizzers chocolate beans.
