Gluten/dairy free and Vegan friendly delicious chocolate cake!

This recipe is for any vegans or those who can't have dairy or gluten - and it still tastes delicious! Its not the healthiest but a nice treat occasionally all the same :)

Ingredients:
180g gluten free flour (you can use normal plain flour if you don't need gluten free)
200g sugar
50g cocoa
1tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1tsp vanilla essence
70g olive oil
250ml warm water

Mix all the ingredients together, dry ones first, then add the rest. Bake at 180C for 30 minutes.

Once it is cool add the glaze:

100g sugar
3 tablespoons or margarine (soya variety or normal, depending)
2 tbsp milk or soya milk
2 tbsp cocoa
2 tsp vanilla essence

Melt the ingredients together in a pan until boiling point. When it starts to boil, turn the heat down and allow the mixture to simmer for 2 minutes. Then take off the heat and stir for another 5 minutes. Add to the top of the cooled cake. Decorate how you like!
