Grease and line a 15 cm/6-inch round cake tin. • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside. • In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, egg and oil until smooth and well combined. • Add the remaining wet ingredients and whisk until well combined. • Add the dry ingredients and gently whisk just until combined.
