Preheat oven to 180°C, line a 9x5 inch cake tin with oil and baking paper.
In a large mixing bowl add the flour, cocoa powder, white & brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt and whisk until evenly combined and no lumps.
Add all the wet ingredients and whisk well until smooth. It is a wet batter and this makes it moist.

Let it sit in baking tin for a few minutes, remove from the tin and leave to cool for an hour before slicing and eating.
