Vegan chocolate cake

I have never been vegan all my life. However, in order to help cure my baby's ezcema, the specialist suggest me to cut dairy and eggs. I was overwhelmed initially but decided I would start making vegan desserts for myself.

So, here you go. My attempt at baking a chocolate cake. It is one of my favourite cake of all time.Below is the recipe that I got from the internet.

Dry Ingredients:
300 gram of all purpose flour
240 gram of granulated sugar
80 gram of unsweetened cocoa powder
5 gram of baking soda
Half teaspoon of salt

Wet ingredients:-
240 ml of warm water
1 teaspoon of vanilla essence
80 ml of vegetable oil
5 ml of white vinegar

Method:-
Put in all the dry ingredient in a bowl. Mix them all together. After that, put in the wet ingredients and mix all together. You can just use a wooden spoon. Then put them in an 8 inch round baking pan. Put it in the oven (180 degrees Celcius) for 30-40 minutes. Depending on you oven, you need to insert a toothpick in the middle of the cake and check if the cake is done. If the tooth pick is clean, then the cake is ready, Cool it on the drying rack for 10 mins before you take it out.

Honestly, it was so good that none of our guests thought it was vegan!
