Instructions
For the Cake:
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
In an ungreased 8×8-inch glass or ceramic baking dish, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda. Stir until the dry ingredients are well blended.
Make three separate wells in the dry mixture. Pour vegetable oil in one, vanilla extract in another, and white vinegar in the last.
Pour the water evenly over everything, then stir the mixture until smooth using a whisk or fork.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool completely before adding the frosting.
For the Frosting:
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and cocoa powder.
Slowly add the water, one tablespoon at a time, stirring continuously until the mixture reaches a smooth, thick, and pourable consistency.
Pour the frosting over the cooled cake and spread evenly. Allow it to set before slicing into squares.
Notes
If using a metal baking pan, mix all the dry ingredients in a separate bowl, then add the wet ingredients and stir until smooth. Pour into a greased pan and bake as directed.
This cake is naturally dairy-free, egg-free, and vegan, making it a great option for those with dietary restrictions.
For extra richness, try adding a handful of chocolate chips to the batter before baking

Lois, Thank you! Finally finished my second round of January pottery lottery!
I’m terrible with knowing zodiacs, so I thought the one I planted was the sea goat, not the Pelican! Duh.

Thank you. It was lovely and sunny here yesterday, today? The opposite 🙈 xx

oh no! Thanks Lois!
I thought I read that they needed veggies

Hi Lois, yes it's easier to repair just the one nest than it is building one!
I'm just getting over a cold/cough virus. Did a tiny bit of housework and it's wiped me out! So just chilling for the rest of the day now. Hubby is painting and will cook later and tidy the kitchen so I don't have to worry. He can't sit still for long 😂
Hope you're enjoying your weekend so far. I hear you on the cabin fever. We're hoping to get out for some walks soon along the seafront xx

Thank you! I'm more than happy to help you with Dino's where I can too. Just would need a little short respite from them first 😂
It's hard to say on the nests to be fair, and if I'm honest, I can't remember how many I've had each time. I do remember having 7 ready just before t-rex but that was mostly because I managed to build most over boxing day and a couple of days after, when everyone was on SF and not many playing. I planned on having one nest repair but ended up building my last nest after starting t-rex by stumbling across t-rex wobbles and no one else about who needed. Have to admit, not having to find a repair takes the pressure off. I've had a few nests built ready each time I think. It also depends on how many others are on each particular Dino. If there's not many, nest repairs may be harder to spot, having said that though the competition would be less too so it swings in roundabouts. But if you ever get stuck, I could maybe pop an egg in my garden and hopefully freeze if I get a wobble that no one is on who needs it. Then I can open when I know you're about.
Having a good team around you as you get to the harder Dino's does help!! Xxx
