No bread is an island

...entire of itself. (With apologies to John Donne!)
I live and breathe breadmaking. I’m an evangelist who would like everyone to make his or her own bread. I want to demystify breadmaking and show it as the easy everyday craft that it is. To this end I endeavour to make my recipes as simple and as foolproof as I possibly can.

I call my blog 'No bread is an island' because every bread is connected to another bread. So a spicy fruit bun with a cross on top is a hot cross bun. This fruit dough will also make a fruit loaf - or Chelsea buns or a Swedish tea ring...
I'm also a vegan, so I have lots of vegan recipes on here - and I'm adding more all the time.

SIMPLE CHOCOLATE CAKE (VEGAN)

[Some pics here]

 Ingredients:
200g self raising flour (I use Sainsbury's Basic)
200g sugar
30g cocoa powder
25g vegetable oil
300g water

Method:
Measure the dry ingredients, then add the oil and water. Stir, initially with a dessertspoon, and then with a whisk, then pour into a prepared 20cm (8") microwave safe cake former.

Microwave on full for 8 minutes (or bake at 180C) for 35-40 minutes.

Cost:
Last time I checked, the ingredients - bought from Lidl - came to less than 40p.
