Funfetti Vanilla Wacky Cake
Description
This cake brings together all-purpose flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, vegetable oil, white vinegar, vanilla extract, and water as its base ingredients. The dry components are sifted or whisked together, then wells are made to add the wet ingredients separately before combining. This technique ensures proper chemical reaction between the acidic vinegar and baking soda for rise.
Once gently mixed with cold water and folded with rainbow sprinkles, careful mixing prevents the colors from bleeding too much into the batter. The batter is poured into a lined 8x8-inch pan and baked at 350°F for approximately 25 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
The cake cools in the pan before being frosted and decorated with extra sprinkles, making it visually festive as well as tender and light in texture. This eggless recipe provides a simple, fun option for a vanilla-flavored celebration cake or casual treat.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour 190 grams
- 1 cup granulated sugar 200 grams
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil 100 ml
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup water 240ml, cold tap
- 3 tablespoons Rainbow sprinkles jimmies, plus extra for decoration
- frosting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch (20cm square) baking pan with baking parchment paper.
- Sift or whisk the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt in a mixing bowl.
- Make three wells in the flour mixture: one large and two small. Pour the oil into the large well, vinegar into a small one and vanilla into the third.
- Note: it’s important to keep the wet ingredients separate until they’re stirred into the batter at the same time, so the wacky cake works properly.
- Pour the water into the mixing bowl and mix it all until blended with no lumps.
- Gently fold in the sprinkles, but take care not to overmix or the color of the sprinkles will ‘bleed’ into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan, then coat with frosting and additional sprinkles. Cut and serve.
