Steps:

• Combine milk and vinegar in a large bowl. Set aside for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.

• Heat a lightly oiled griddle over medium-high heat. Drop 1/3 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake; cook until tops begin to bubble, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Sift once more, then sift again into a 9 inch square pan.
• Make a well in the center, and measure in the oil, vinegar and vanilla. Pour water over all and mix with a fork until smooth.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool.
• To make the frosting: In a saucepan, combine chocolate, margarine and water. Cook over low heat until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and confectioners' sugar. Fold in miniature marshmallows. Spread over cake.

• In a large saucepan melt 135g butter or margarine, 200g dark chocolate and 2-3 tbsp golden syrup over a gentle heat stirring constantly until there are no or almost no more lumps of chocolate visible, then remove from the heat. Leave to cool.

• Immediately sprinkle each with approximately 1 tbs. each of nuts and chips.
• Cook for 2-4 minutes or until surface begins to bubble and edges appear slightly dry. Turn and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown.
• Serve hot with butter and maple syrup.
