Instructions

  1. Preheat 350 degrees F.
  2. Place the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt) in a bowl.
  3. Make 3 small holes in the mixture.
  4. Pour the vanilla in one hole, the vinegar in another and vegetable oil in another.
  5. Pour water over the top, and whisk to combine. 
  6. Pour into a lightly greased 8x8-inch metal baking pan. 
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Let cool in pan. 

Notes

  • Cocoa powder: Or an equal amount of unsweetened cocoa powder
  • Oil: Can use a different type of oil. I also like melted coconut oil.
  • Water: I use hot tap water. No need to heat it beyond that. 
  • Need a frosting recipe? I use my chocolate buttercream frosting.
  • Nutrition values are estimates.
