Choc Cake from the Co-op!

The Co-op Chocolate Cake mix in a packet is vegan, hooray for  them - and us.

But instead of de-veganising it by adding an egg as they suggest, try  this. Follow the instructions on the back of the packet then add to the dry mixture:

1 med-large banana, well-mashed
1/2 tsp baking powder
90-100ml soya or other dairy-free milk.
 

• You want the cake mix thick enough to cook but thin enough to cover each tin evenly  - use a rubber spatula to spread.
• Use a balloon whisk (hand) or electric cake mixer to mix everything well together, add to the cake tins and bake as per packet instructions.
• Very quick and easy and the cake tastes very good.
• Remember to leave the cakes to cool thoroughly before removing from tins on to a cooling rack.
• Filling ideas:
• we creamed together a little cocoa powder with icing sugar and vegan marg for a quick filling then scattered it with blueberries. Yum. 
• Alternatively, try spreading a bit of raspberry jam in the middle together with a bit of chocolate soya dessert - a bit messy but very nice indeed.
