Vegan double chocolate cake with banana surprise

ingredients:

175g flour
1 ts baking soda
1/2 ts salt
45g cocoa powder
90g veg. margarine
150g sugar
2 Ts water
240ml soy milk
1 ts vanilla extract
1/2 ts ground cinnamon
100g dark chocolate
1 banana

Stir together flour, bicarbonate of soda, salt, cinnamon and cocoa powder.
In a separate bowl, blend together margarine, sugar and water until fluffy
Add this to flour mixture as well as soy milk and vanilla
Mix gently until the dough is smooth

Pour the dough into a cake form
Chop/break the chocolate into chunks
Peel the banana and together with the chocolate drop it in the cake dough

At gas mark 5, bake for about 30mins or until no dough sticks to a wooden knitting needle that you use to check your cake because your kitchen is massively underequiped.

Let cool and enjoy

Or get impatient and enjoy while still warm. The melted chocolate makes a mess, but tastes lovely.

Old Vienna apple strudel


Dough:
300g flour
125ml warm water
1 egg
1 Tsp oil
1 Tsp vinegar
salt

Throw in a bowl and mix till the dough is smooth. Cover with a cloth and leave for 1-2 hours in a warm spot.

Filling:
4-6 apples (depending on size) I like Bramley or Boscop.
lemon juice
150 g sugar
1 Tsp cinnamon
100 g raisins
50 g chopped almonds

4 Tsp bread crumbs

Also needed: powdered sugar and butter

Peel and cut apples into thin slices and immediately put lemon juice in the bowl. Mix sugar, cinnamon, raisins and almonds in a bowl, then add to apples and mix.

Take a dish cloth (clean, ironed and without seams in the fabric) and sprinkle some flour on it. Roll the dough so it's equal thickness, then pull it on the back of your hands. Lay it on the cloth and pull until it's so thin you can read love letters through the dough. Cut off the thick edges, then brush with warm butter.

First chuck on the breadcrumbs, then the apple/sugar/raisin mix. Fold over the edges of the dough, then lift the cloth from one side and use it to roll the strudel. Lift it on a prepared baking tray, brush with butter and bake at around 200° for 20-30 minutes (depending on the thickness of the strudel and on how thinly you chopped the apples.)
