Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups Flour
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1/4 cup Cocoa Powder unsweetened
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 tsp White Vinegar
- 1/3 cup Vegetable Oil
- 1 cup Water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F
- Grease and flour a square, 9X9" baking pan (see video).
- Whisk together in a large bowl the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, salt and baking soda. Make sure it's well-blended, with no streaks of white.
- With a spoon, make three wells in the powder. Pour the vinegar in one, oil in another and water in the third. Fold together with a spatula until well-blended - about two minutes.
- Pour batter into greased pan and bake for 30 minutes. Start testing at 30, but bake until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out with a few damp crumbs still attached. If you see it starting to pull away from the sides of the pan, you're going too long!
- Cool completely before frosting.
Notes
This cake is easy to over-bake. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out with a few moist crumbs attached - not "clean."
