Preheat oven to 180c.
Sour the milk in a large jug by adding the vinegar or lemon juice. Leave to stand for 5 minutes.
Whilst the milk is souring, sift together the flour, cacao powder, baking powder and bicarb into a large mixing bowl.
Whisk the sugar and salt into the flour mix.
Now add the oil, vanilla and maple syrup to the milk and whisk well.
Pour this into the dry ingredients and mix until thoroughly combined. Don't overmix though.
Pour into your prepared baking tin and bake for 30-35 minutes or until it springs back to the touch.
Leave to cool 10 minutes in the tin before carefully turning out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
Now you can frost your cake.
Please note that where the recipe asks for milk, butter or yogurt, this refers to any plant-based version that you prefer.
