Vanilla Sponge with chocolate chips and pecans

I used an 8" square tin for this cake but any shape you like would be fine.

Ingredients.

300g/12oz/2 cups of self raising flour

1 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda

100g/4oz/half a cup of sugar

1 cup/8 fl.oz/200ml of sunflower oil

1 cup of soya milk (or possibly a little more to get a good mixture)

2 teaspoons of natural vanilla extract

50g./2 oz./quarter cup chocolate chips (or more if you like!)

50g/2 oz/half a cup of pecan halves

Oil your cake tin and preheat oven to 180C/360F. Mix together your dry ingredients of flour, sugar and bicarbonate. Make a well in the middle and pour in the oil, soya milk and vanilla - mix well. Pour into cake tin and then sprinkle on the chocolate chips and arrange the pecans on top. Bake for about half an hour or until cooked in middle (insert a knife or skewer into the centre of cake and if cooked it will come out clean)
