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 cold tap water 240ml
- 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.
