Method

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 180C fan-forced. Grease a 22cm round cake tin and line base and sides with baking paper.

  • Step 3
    Add Whole Earth Baking Blend, eggs, milk and vanilla, then beat with a whisk until combined. Sift in flour and cocoa and stir with whisk until a smooth batter forms. Pour into prepared tin. Smooth surface and bake for 30-35 minutes or until cooked when tested with a skewer. Set aside for 15 minutes to cool slightly, then remove from tin and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Recipe Notes

Whole Earth Baking Blend is a sweetener that bakes and browns like sugar.
