Preheat oven to 180 degrees C and prepare a 9 inch round sandwich tin or cake pan with 2-3 inch sides. Line with parchment or oil then lightly dust with flour.
Measure the plain flour, cocoa powder, sugar, whole wheat plain flour, bicarbonate of soda and salt into a large bowl and proceed to sift twice.
Measure out all the liquid ingredients: the water, apple puree, sunflower oil, vanilla and cider vinegar into a large measuring jug or bowl.
Gently fold in the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
Scrape batter into prepared cake tin and bake until raised and set, and a cake tester comes out clean. Approximately 30 minutes. Makes one layer cake to serve 8 people.
Garnish with fresh raspberries, a dusting of icing sugar and a drizzle of melted chocolate and/or chocolate shavings. Can be doubled to make a double layer cake, filled with raspberry jam and garnished as above.
