Vegan Chocolate Cherry Slice

Ingredients:
- 2 cups of plain flour
- 2 cups of white sugar
- 3/4 cup of cocoa powder

- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1 teaspoon of salt

- 1 cup of water

- 1 cup of vegetable or canola oil
- Glace cherries for the top of the slice

Method:

- Sift the flour and cocoa powder into a bowl and add the other dry ingredients. Stir to combine.

- Add the water and oil to the dry ingredients and mix.

- Prepare a tray for the slice, you can use a smaller tray for a thicker slice. Line the tray with baking paper and pour in the batter.

- Place in the oven for about five to ten minutes and then remove. Arrange the cherries on the top of the slice. Starting the baking process stops the cherries from sinking into the batter.

- Cook for 30 minutes and check the slice. It may require more time depending on your chosen tray (if it is thicker). Use a skewer to check if it is finished (if the skewer comes out clean it is done).
