Put the first 9 ingredients in a large bowl and stir together.
Add in all the other ingredients and then stir them together till there are no dry bits.
Put the mixture in the cake tin and bake in the oven for 60-70 minutes.
Let the cake cool for a short while in the tin then transfer it to a wire rack.
To make the icing, beat the icing sugar, plant based butter and vanilla extract together in a food mixer. Or just beat them together with a fork then spread it onto the cake. It is hard to get it as smooth using this method though.
