In a bowl, mix together all of the dry ingredients; flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt, ensuring it’s really well blended.

Once out of the oven gently skewer the cakes a few times, and then pour over 1/2 ladle of the syrup to each mini loaf and let the cake absorb the syrup. Once cooled, finish the cake with vegan ganache, and top with nuts or fresh fruit.
