A white vegan cake which actually tastes OK! Quick and simple ... nothing fancy. Can be changed about as you like. Suggestions: Add nuts, glace cherries, choc chips, cocoa, lemon/orange rind, coffee etc. to the mix. Add cocoa powder, lemon/orange rind or coffee to the icing or replace water with orange/lemon juice. Decorate with nuts, cherries, coloured strands or grated chocolate. You get the idea! Or they're nice just plain. Sorry if my US conversions are a bit out! Ingredients:
