Gluten Free, Vegan Chocolate Cake

Ok, vegan and Gluten Free, it can be yummy.  This recipe is adapted from the recipe for Depression Cake.  I use coconut Palm sugar to make it diabetic as well, it's win, win , win!  And you mix it in the baking pan so there is not much mess!

What you need

1 1/4 cup gluten free pancake mix (try and use a low sodium one or it can taste a bit salty)

1/2 cup cocoa

3/4 - 1 cup coconut palm sugar 

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda 

1 cup liquid ( rice milk, almond milk, soy milk, cold coffee or apple juice)

1/3 cup vegetable oil

1/4 cup vinegar

1 tsp vanilla extract 

Preheat oven to 350.  In a baking pan (9" round or 9x9 square). Add pancake batter, cocoa and sugar, stir to combine. In small bowl combine oil, vinegar and vanilla extract.  Add liquid (I used rice milk) to dry in greediness and stir just to combine.  Make a small well in centre, add baking powder and baking soda to the well, pour wet ingredients into the well and stir quickly to mix until there are no large lumps.  Put in the oven and bake for approx 30 min or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.
