Ingredients
- 200g (7oz) self-raising flour
- 100g (4oz) granulated sugar
- 100g (4oz) brown sugar
- 5ml (1 tsp) salt
- 60ml (4 tbsp) cocoa powder
- 75ml (5 tbsp) melted butter
- 5ml (1 tsp) vanilla essence
- 5ml (1 tsp) baking powder
- 15ml (1 tbsp) white wine vinegar
- 150ml (¼ pint) milk
- 100g (4oz) marshmallows
- icing sugar
- Put the flour, sugar, salt and cocoa directly into a 23cm (9") cake tin and stir well until you have a light brown moon sand texture.
- Make a big crater in the middle of the sand so you can see the base of the tin, then a medium sized crater somewhere else in the sand, and a smaller crater on the other side (make sure that they are well apart).
- Spoon the baking powder into the medium sized crater.
- Spoon the melted butter into the large crater and the vanilla into the smallest crater.
- Now pour the vinegar into the medium sized crater and it will bubble and foam, and become "volcanic".
- When this stops, pour the milk over the moon sand and stir well.
- The sand will now look like mud.
- Scatter the marshmallows over the surface.
- Bake for 35 minutes. (Test with a cocktail stick or skewer to see that the cake is done.)
- Dust with icing sugar and serve from the tin.
