Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.33 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon White vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Confectioners' sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Use an 8x8-inch baking pan for this recipe. No need for extra bowls—everything will be mixed directly in the pan.
In the baking pan, sift or whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
Make three small wells in the dry mixture. Pour the vegetable oil into one well, the vinegar into the second, and the vanilla extract into the third.
Pour the water evenly over all the ingredients in the pan.
Using a fork or a spatula, gently mix everything together until a smooth batter forms. Be sure to scrape the edges of the pan to incorporate all the dry ingredients.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the cake to cool completely before slicing.
Optional: Dust the top with confectioners' sugar before serving for a touch of elegance.
Slice and enjoy your 1 Pan Fudge Cake directly from the pan! Serve as is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
