Ingredients (9)
- 300g (2 cups) plain flour
- 215g (1 cup) caster sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 80ml (1/3 cup) light tasting olive oil
- 1 tsp white vinegar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Vanilla frosting, to serve
- Coconut flakes, to serve
- Ferrero Raffaello balls, to serve, optional
Method
- Step 1 Preheat oven to 180C/160C fan forced. Grease a square 20cm (base measurement) cake pan and line with baking paper.
- Step 2 Whisk the flour, sugar and baking powder in a bowl until combined. Make a well in the centre. Add the oil, vinegar, vanilla and 250ml (1 cup) water. Slowly whisk until a smooth batter forms. Pour into the prepared pan. Bake for 17 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean. Set aside in the pan for 5 minutes to cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Step 3 Spread the vanilla frosting over the cake and top with coconut flakes and the Raffaellos.
