This is a great cake for those evenings when you finally get all the children in bed and you just know that your body needs chocolate cake. I'm not the only one who feels this way every once in a while, am I?!
This is such an easy recipe!
In a bowl combine:
1 1/2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
Mix until combined. In a liquid measuring cup add:
1 cup cool water
6 Tbsp veggie oil
1 Tbsp vinegar
1 tsp vanilla
Add wet to dry and mix until there are no clumps. Pour batter into a 9 inch round cake pan. Bake in 350 degree oven for 30 minutes. I used a dark nonstick cake pan so I reduced the heat to 325 and baked for 20 minutes and then added more time in 5 minute increments until the cake was done.
This was a last minute decision of mine to make this cake so we didn't have any chocolate frosting and I didn't feel like making any, so I just used vanilla frosting. It was so so good! In Eleanor's words, "Oh my word, this is delicious!"
Happy Eating!
