genuinely this is the best cake i, lifelong non-vegan until very recently, have ever had. rich and warm and chocolatey. the recipe was just printed out on a piece of paper @ my aunts house. i couldn’t find this exact recipe online, but it reads as follows (this will b long):
CHILLI CHERRY CHOCOLATE CAKE
By Anna
This is one of my favourite, most versatile chocolate cake recipes. It's a bonus that it's dairy- and egg-free (excluding ganache), people are shocked when I tell them this. Cherry and chocolate are a dreamy combination, and the addition of chilli makes for a memorable cake experience!
Makes a two-layer cake (halve the recipe for a smaller cake).
Ingredients Cake
3 cups of flour
5 Tbsp good quality cocoa
2 tsp salt
21/4 cups caster sugar
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 to 1 tsp chilli powder
1/2 cup oil
13/4 cup weak coffee (or water)
4. Tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup of pitted cherries, roughly chopped
Preheat oven to 170 C. Line two 26cm cake tins with baking paper.
Combine the dry ingredients in one bowl.
In a separate bowl, mix the remaining ingredients, except for the cherries.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry and mix well. Things will start to fizz and foam, this is the baking soda reacting with the vinegar. Yay science!
Mix in the cherries, then pour into prepared tins. Bake for about 40 minutes, but check after 30 minutes as baking times always differ.
Cake should just spring back when lightly pressed, or you can test it with a skewer - if it comes out clean the cake is ready to roll!
Cool cakes before icing.
I like to layer and top the cakes with a chocolate ganache; make with equal quantities of cream and dark chocolate. Heat the cream till almost boiling, then pour over chopped chocolate. Leave for a minute or two, then stir to make a smooth velvety ganache. Cool a little before using. If you want an added chilli kick, add a pinch of chilli powder to the cream.

I’m on the wrong side of 33 and i can tell you with utmost certainty that your 20s is the most chaotic time of your life and it’s amazing that anyone actually gets anything done during them. If you’re a type a planning type personality however I would recommend:
- if you’re the sort of person who cares about diet and fitness, establish those routines in your 20s
- live where you wanna live. Don’t live somewhere you hate because you think you’ll have more fun later cos you won’t
- get a job that makes reliable money that you can tolerate and go back to if your dreams fall through. It doesn’t have to be a dream job it just has to pay the rent and not make you sad
- don't smoke cigarettes
- use sunscreen
- be as cringe as you want. People expect it from you anyway. They won’t have as much patience in your 30s.

Walking into a formal celebration and taking in everyone looking and smelling good. The smell always stays with me the most—cologne, soap, hair product, cigarettes, leather, shoe polish. Everyone so clean and proud and a little bit shy. So special.
