Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 1/2 | cups flour |
| 1 | cup sugar |
| 3 | tsp baking soda |
| 1 | tsp salt |
| 1/2 | tsp vinegar |
| 6 | tsp vanilla extract |
| 1 | cup cold water |
| 1 | cup vegetable oil |
Instructions:
-
Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 inch baking pan.
-
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Create three holes in the dry ingredients mixture.
-
Add Wet Ingredients: Pour the vegetable oil into the first hole, the vinegar into the second hole, and the vanilla extract into the third hole.
-
Mix Well: Pour the cold water over all the ingredients. Using a fork or whisk, gently mix the ingredients together until well combined. Avoid overmixing; the batter should be smooth but not overly beaten.
-
Bake: Transfer the batter into the greased baking pan. Spread it evenly. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for a few minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, frost with your favorite frosting, and slice into squares to serve.
Enjoy your Perfect Wacky Cake, a delightful treat that’s both easy to make and wonderfully delicious! 🍰
