Boiled Chocolate Cake

1 cup water
1 1/2 cup caster sugar
4 oz dairy free butter/margarine
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 1/2 cups Self Raising flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 eggs*

In replace of eggs you can use equivalent of Orgran NO Egg Natural Egg Replacer/ or one whole pureed banana/ or 1 cup of apple puree.

Place sugar, water, butter, cocoa and baking soda on low heat until melts - then simmer for a few minutes. Let cool. When cool mix in egg replacement and flour. Turn into 7 inch round cake tin (greased or baking paper). Bake at 180 degree celcius for approx 45 mins depending on oven.

This is a lovely cake as it is really moist because of the method of cooking. I cooked this for my ds2's 1st birthday but I had to replace wheat flour with soya flour and it turned out lovely. I iced with green butter icing (dairy-free) and placed lollipops all over (I had seen Martha Stewart do similar). I have cooked this cake with all 3 egg alternatives and it has turned out fine.

Instead of eggs, try using 1 tbsp of ground linseed, mixed with 3 tbsp water. Leave for a few minutes until it turns all gloopy, then use as you would 1 egg. It sounds odd but works brilliantly. I think you can easily find a dairy free cake recipe, or just use oat / rice milk or sunflower margarine in place of the dairy parts.
