How do I make it?
- Preheat oven to 180C. Grease and line a 28-centimetre cake tin.
- Add almond milk to a jug and stir in apple cider vinegar. Set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, bicarb, and salt. Pour in coconut oil, apple puree, vanilla and the almond milk mixture and mix on medium speed until well combined.
- Reduce speed to low and slowly pour in boiling water. The mixture should be quite runny.
- Pour batter into the prepared cake tin and bake for 40 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes, then remove from the pan.
- Serve lightly dusted with cocoa powder and garnished with fresh strawberries if desired.
