Spiced City Cake

* 180g plain flour
* 150g raw/brown sugar( this amt is fine because the sweetness will get neutralized by the cocoa )
* 60g cocoa powder( Van Houten is ok. The vinegar in the recipe gives the necessary acid. )
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 teaspoon ground fennel
* 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
* 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
* 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon


* 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
* 200g warm water
* 120g vegetable oil
* 200g pureed silken tofu
* 1 tablespoon white vinegar

Method:

- Thoroughly blend and sieve the dry ingredients.
- Whisk/thoroughly mix wet ingredients together and pour into dry ingredients. Mix well.
- Dump into your 9" pan( bottom lined, sides greased+floured/cocoa-ed ). I would actually encourage baking in 2 pans and later fill something in the centre.
- Bake at 180C( or less ) for around 30 - 40 mins. If divided, then perhaps 20 mins.....if baking in 2 tiers, switch positions after 15 mins.
- Completely cool before unmoulding.
