This vegan version of a chocolate cake loses nothing in flavour and is a favourite with our customers, it is also very easy to make too!

3 tbsp golden syrup
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Date & Apricot Flapjack
 
This has definitely become a favourite at The Veggie, we make it in thick moist slices which are a perfect partner to an Americano or Cappuccino. We usually have it on sale at the start of the weekend but it generally sells out pretty quickly. The next time you are passing the café call in and try some, if you are a flapjack fan you will not be disappointed!

Preheat oven to 200C
 
You will need a 7" square cake tin greased and lined
 
Ingredients
4oz dates
4oz apricots
10oz plain flour
5oz porridge oats
4 tablespoons sunflower seeds
1/2 tsp salt
6oz butter/sunflower spread
4oz soft brown sugar
2 tbsp golden syrup
 
Method
1) In a food processor/blender blend the dates and apricots with 2 tablespoons of water.
2) In a large bowl mix together the dry ingredients.
3) Melt the butter/sunflower spread, sugar and golden syrup. Mix into dry ingredients.
4) Press half the mixture into prepared tin followed by the date and apricot mixture. Press the remaining mixture over the top.
