Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Water
- 0.33 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon White vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan lightly with oil or cooking spray.
Add the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt directly into the baking pan. Stir the dry ingredients together with a fork or whisk until evenly combined.
Make three small wells in the dry mixture—one large, one medium, and one small.
Pour the vegetable oil into the largest well, vinegar into the medium well, and vanilla extract into the smallest well.
Carefully pour the water over the entire mixture in the pan.
Use a fork or whisk to gently mix everything together until smooth and no dry spots remain. Be sure to scrape the corners of the pan to ensure even mixing.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the cake cool for at least 15 minutes before serving directly from the pan.
Optional: Dust with powdered sugar or frost as desired before serving.
