An eggless choclate cake

My friends have been asking for this eggless cake recipe. Eggless cakes don't come out as well as egg cakes. So don't expect too much out of it. Try and let me know the results;-)

Ingredients:
All-Purpose Flour - 1.5 cups
Unsweetened Cocoa Powder - 3 Tbsp,
sifted Baking Soda - 1 tsp
Sugar - 1 cup
Oil - 5 Tbsp (butter especially for baking can also be used)
White Vinegar - 1 Tbsp
Vanilla Extract - 1 tsp
Coke tin - 150 ml
baking powder - 1 tsp

Method:
Before getting started preheat the oven at 180 degree celsius. By the time you are ready with the batter, the oven is heated fully well.

1. In a mixing bowl sift flour, Cocoa Powder, Baking Soda and soda bicarb 2-3 times. this makes the flour very light.Then to this sifted flour add Sugar. Mix well.
2. Add in Oil, Vinegar, Vanilla Extract and coke.
3. Mix the wet and dry ingredients together with a hand blender until there are no more lumps.
4. Pour batter into a greased 9 inch by 9 inch baking pan, two inches deep.
5. Bake at 180 degree celsius for 10 minutes then reduce the temp to 150 degree celsius. now bake for half an hour.Poke a toothpick or fork into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is ready. Different ovens behave differently, so check nicely before taking out the cake. It is better not to open the oven frequently while the cake is getting baked.
6. Remove pan from the oven and cool for about 5 minutes before flipping it over onto a platter.
7. Cool completely if you want to apply frosting, else serve with a dollop of whipped cream or chocolate sauce.
