Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon White vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round or square cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper to ensure easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until the dry ingredients are well-blended.
Create three wells in the dry mixture. Pour the vegetable oil into one well, the white vinegar into another, and the vanilla extract into the last well.
Pour the water over all the ingredients in the bowl. Mix everything together with a whisk or spatula until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain. Be careful not to over-mix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional: Dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar for a simple finish, or serve as is for a rich and moist treat.
Slice and enjoy your quick and delightful Blitzkrieg Cake!
