Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 5 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • cooking spray
  • Confectioners' sugar

Instruction

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  • Prepare an 8 inch cake pan with cooking spray.  
  • Inside your pan whisk flour, sugar, cocoa, salt and baking soda together.
  • Next, make 3 holes in the flour mixture.  
  • One large enough to hold the oil and two smaller holes perfect to each hold the vanilla an vinegar.  
  • Then add oil to the large hole and vinegar and vanilla to each of the other holes.  
  • You should now have a pile of flour with a hole filled with oil, another with vanilla and the last with vinegar.  Strange I know but this works.  
  • Pour water slowly into the pan, on top of everything.  
  • Stir until only a few streaks of flour remain.  
  • Place cake immediately into your oven and bake for about 30 minutes.  
  • Bake until toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.  Cool in pan and dust with powdered or icing sugar.  Serve and enjoy!
