I would also advise using the cup measure system instead of converting into weight (every time I tried to convert, recipes came out wrong. I caved and bought a cheap cup measuring set). One cup is roughly 235ml - you could use a jug if you don't have cup measures.

I let it sit for about 10 minutes - usually just while I'm making the rest of the mix. It is a little runnier than we would expect cake mixture to be (it horrified my boyfriend's mum before I put the cupcakes in the oven), but they always come out really well in the end

Wilkinson have several cheap sets (http://www.wilkinsonplus.com/kitche...s-assorted/invt/0319568/?VBMST=measuring cups)
You can get them from larger supermarkets (the ones that have a semi-decent cookware range)
I think even poundland do them...

I dreamed that God would be forgiving.

This really scared me when I started vegan baking too! I used to add flour until it looked like a normal cake mix, often as much as doubling the flour. It actually turned out quite nice, stodgy but yummy. But one time I was brave and didn't do that and they turned out light and fluffy. So yeah don't expect it to look like a non-vegan cake mix!
They sell measuring cups everywhere. There are tonnes on amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias=aps&field-keywords=measuring+cups

I love rabbits.
I would also recommend using American measuring cups instead of trying to convert an American recipe.
I've tried converting a few English recipes into American measurements, and the results were not that good. When cookbooks get officially converted, it's usually not an exact conversion- the measurements are usually adjusted a bit to make it work out.
I pretty much only stick to American recipes, or officially converted cookbooks now. (Unless it's something easy, like a pasta dish where the only thing in grams is the dry pasta, and then I can guess the ounces by how many servings are in the final dish.)

I have some of these on my amazon wish list and I added others as well, goin to get a handle on this now.
I recently got Vegan on the Cheap (or as my husband calls it "cheap-*** vegan") and EVERYTHING has been wonderful. I made the Morraccan lentil stew last night (the one with 1 cup apple juice) and it was gorgeous--we're having leftovers tonight.
I love vegan yum yum as well! I love the smoky miso tofu--we're having it tonight and the barley risotto.

I checked out Fresh From the Vegan Slow Cooker from the library, and it looks nice. It's on my "buy eventually" list.

And The Joy of Vegan Baking.
I like some recipes in both Veganomicon and Appetite for Reduction, but I think the recipes in the two above are much, much better than Isa's, especially the baking book.
