    METHOD

    Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F. Grease a loaf pan with margarine and flour it. In a mixing bowl, whisk together both types of flour, the granulated sugar, vanilla sugar or extract, baking soda, and cocoa powder.

    In a separate bowl, combine the soy milk and vinegar; set aside for 10 minutes before stirring in the oil. Add the soymilk mixture to the flour mixture, followed by the mineral water, and stir everything together quickly but delicately with a spoon to achieve a smooth consistency. Fold in the chocolate chunks. Transfer the mixture immediately to an 8-inch (20-cm) long loaf pan and bake in the centre of the oven for 50 minutes.

    Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack.

    To make the frosting, chop the dark chocolate and combine it with the cream in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over low heat. Allow the cake to dry after frosting it with this mixture. In an ovenproof bowl, melt the white chocolate over a saucepan of simmering water. Transfer it to a freezer bag, carefully snip off a corner, and draw decorative lines across the cake with quick movements. Allow to set before slicing and packing to take with you.
