Equipment

  • 1 8" cake pan

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/4 cups unbleached, white flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp distilled white, apple cider or balsamic vinegar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat Oven to 325.
  • In medium mixing bowl, combine all ingredients; saving vinegar for last.
  • Stir by hand with wooden or silicone spoon until batter is smooth. Note that mixture will appear thinner than boxed cake mix.
  • Pour into greased 8" cake pan. This makes a single layer cake. Double ingredients if you prefer a two-layer cake.
  • Bake 25 minutes. Test and remove from oven when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Set hot pan on baking rack to cool. After 20 minutes, invert and remove cake from pan and return to rack until completely cool. Frost, glaze or dust with confectioner's sugar. Serves 8.
