Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 5 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon Vinegar (white or apple cider)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) ungreased baking pan, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Make three small wells in the dry mixture. Pour the vegetable oil into one well, vinegar into the second, and vanilla extract into the third.
Pour the cup of water over the entire mixture and stir with a fork or whisk until a smooth batter forms. Ensure all dry ingredients are incorporated, but be careful not to overmix.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before serving.
Slice into squares and enjoy as-is or with your favorite frosting or glaze!
