Easy chocolate cake

I've been cheating. Yes. I have. (Just quietly, when The Boy isn't looking.)

The Girl seems to be sensitive to salycilates, which is a nuisance - though I'll willingly stick to bland food if it means getting some sleep - but otherwise shows no signs of having the same issues as her brother.

Good news.

Today I got out mum's never-fail easy-peasy chocolate recipe and substituted with gluten-free flour, nuttelex and rice milk.

It is delicious!

1 3/4 cups of flour
3/4 cups cocoa (I used organic cacao)
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 1/2 ts bicarb
1 ts vanilla (I forgot this and it still tasted good)
3/4 ts salt
1 1/2 cup milk
125g margarine
2 eggs

Just mix it and bung it in a moderate oven for 40-45-ish minutes

I topped it off with icing to please the kiddies.

This works well as gluten and/or dairy free. It's very  high in amines! Yum. Love amines.
