Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Wesson oil (vegetable oil)
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons White vinegar
- 2 cups Cold water
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan or two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Make three wells in the dry ingredients. Pour the Wesson oil into one well, the vanilla extract into the second, and the vinegar into the third.
Slowly pour the cold water over the mixture and stir with a spatula or whisk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan(s), smoothing the top with a spatula if necessary.
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 let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or frosting.
Optionally, frost the cake with your favorite chocolate or vanilla frosting and enjoy!
