This summer I decided to come up with a super chocolatey, quick and easy vegan chocolate cake. I wanted to use as few ingredients as possible so that baking novices could also give this cake a go. This cake is perfect if you're in a hurry as it only needs 10 minutes in the oven.

Cake mixture

Mix the flour, salt and sugar in a bowl. Place the chocolate and margarine in a thin-sided bowl and suspend over a gently simmering bain-marie, ensuring that the bowl does not touch the water. Melt the chocolate while stirring, continue to stir until smooth. Stir in the vanilla paste and apple sauce. Mix into the dry ingredients, transfer the cake mixture to the prepared tin.
