A fab bake!
I used standard flour (as didn’t need it to be gf). I would reduce the amount of sugar next time as it was very sweet! A great tasting cake though!

Great Recipe, Cake tastes great and you would not even notice it is GF & Vegan. I think I reduced the cocoa powder though as it was a bit too much.

However for those who are gluten Free you need to be careful and sub White vinegar for a different vinegar as it is NOT GF as it contains Malt barley which contains gluten. I think I used whatever I had in the cupbaord, might have been cider vinegar and worked fine.
As I bake for a living I am very aware of allergens and luckily noticed this small mistake, as I was making this to sell.
Please edit your recipe as not everyone is aware.But overall happy with the recipe :)
