To make the base

Step 1- Pre-heat your oven to 180 degrees c and line a medium sized square tin with greaseproof paper or grease with vegan butter.

Step 2- In a mixing bowl, combine the plain flour, cacao powder, coconut oil and maple syrup.

Mix and bring together with your hands until a dough forms.

Step 3- Press the dough into the lined tin and pop into the oven to bake for 9-10 minutes, until golden in colour.

To make the cake layer

Step 1- Preheat your oven to 180 degrees c.

Step 2- In a small bowl, combine the almond milk with the apple cider vinegar and whisk until fully combined.

Set aside for 10 minutes to curdle. This creates a vegan 'buttermilk'.

Step 3- In a large mixing bowl, sift the flour, sugar, cacao powder, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda.

Mix well to combine.

Step 4- Add the melted coconut oil to the 'buttermilk' and whisk to combine.

Step 5- Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix until a smooth batter.

Step 6- Pour the batter on top of the base.

Make sure to tap the tin on the worktop to remove any air bubbles.

Step 7- Swirl some vegan "Nutella" into the batter, then place the tin into the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes.

You will know they are done when you put a knife or skewer in and it comes out clean and it is springy to the touch.

Step 8- Place on a cooling rack and allow to cool fully.

Once cool, slice into servings then pop them into a sealed container to keep them fresh before decorating.

I dunked my bars in melted dairy-free white chocolate, added on some chopped hazelnuts, chopped Pulsin RAW brownies and a light dusting of snow (icing sugar).
