OVEn 375 degrees
INGREDIENTS
- 1 1/2 cups (7 ounces) bleached all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup (0.75 ounce) unsweetened, nonalkalized cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (7.5 ounces) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon white or cider vinegar
- 6 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 cup water
- DIRECTIONS:
- 1. Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375°F. Lightly grease an 8-inch square pan.
- 2. Sift the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt directly into the baking pan, then add the sugar. With your finger, poke 2 small holes and 1 large one in the dry ingredients. Into one of the small holes pour the vanilla, into the other one the vinegar, and into the larger one the oil.
- 3. Pour the water over all the ingredients and stir the ingredients together with a table fork, reaching into the corners, until you can’t see any more flour and the batter looks fairly well homogenized.
- 4. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is springy and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out dry. Cool the cake in the pan on a wire rack, then cut and serve it from the pan.
5. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar or any other favorite frosting
A great easy-to-make treat....
We could even make it as kids...
(and it was a chemical reaction/science experiment too!!)
