This recipe was posted up at alimento, the online home of a dairy-free New Zealand blogger.  It seems that "mixed spice" is a bit different from allspice.  The ingredients on the Mixed Spice she used are: coriander, cinnamon, pimento, ginger, cassia, nutmeg & cloves.  Just cinnamon may be substituted for the mixed spice.

To bake a cake, follow the recipe, but cook at 180ºC (350ºF).  Bake until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Frost with a Chocolate Frosting or, for contrast, a Vegan Buttercream

"This recipe is based on a very moist chocolate cake. I've also known it to be called Wacky Cake or Crazy Cake. It is delicious and similar to the other chocolate cake I have on this blog."

Ingredients:

• 3 cups flour
• 2 cups sugar
• 6 tablespoons cocoa
• 2 teaspoons baking powder

• 2 teaspoons vanilla essence
• 1 cup soy milk
• 1 cup water 

Directions:
