    1. Preheat oven to 350F (180C). Grease a 8-inch (20cm) round cake pan and set aside.

    3. Add water, oil, vinegar and vanilla extract. Stir until combined.

    Notes:
    • The ganache is optional. You can serve the cake without the ganache and dust it with icing sugar.
    • For extra rich flavour you can use coffee instead of water.
    • Other options for chocolate ganache: coconut cream + dark chocolate. In a bowl place 100 grams chopped chocolate, pour 1/3 cup (80ml) hot coconut cream, let sit for 1-2 minutes, then stir and combined and smooth.
