Equipment

Ingredients

1 ½ cups of flour
1 cup of granulated sugar
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1 teaspoon of baking powder
3 tablespoons of cocoa powder
¼ teaspoon of salt
1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
1 tablespoon of white or apple cider vinegar
5 tablespoons of vegetable or canola oil
1 cup of lukewarm water

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Sift all the dry ingredients into an ungreased 8" cake pan and spread.
Use your finger to make three holes in the dry ingredients. Put the vanilla in one hole, the vinegar in the second hole and vegetable oil in the third hole. Pour the water over everything and stir until the batter is smooth. Make sure to get the corners of the pan!
Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes or until the cake starts to shrink in from the sides.
Top it with whatever you’d like, but I like powdered sugar and fruit.

Notes

The beauty of this cake is its simplicity, and that is the reason why this is a perfect recipe to get your kids involved whenever you decide to make it. Kids love to get their hands dirty and then admire the result of their hard work once it’s ready.
