Heat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan). Grease and line two 18 cm sandwich tins.

Whisk the flour, cocoa, bicarbonate of soda, sugar and salt in a large bowl.

Mix the oat milk and vinegar in a jug and leave for 2 minutes. It will curdle slightly, which is what you want.

Pour the oat milk mixture, oil and vanilla into the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth.

Divide between the tins and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until a skewer comes out clean. Cool in the tins for 10 minutes, then turn out.

For the ganache, heat the coconut milk until steaming, pour over the chopped chocolate and stir until glossy. Cool for 30 minutes until thick enough to spread.

Sandwich the cakes with a third of the ganache and spread the rest over the top and sides.
