Named bc it is made without any dairy and was a common fixture during the great depression, but works the other way as it’s literally the easiest cake to make and can all be mixed up in one pan then baked. Love this recipe bc if you have a food or coffee scale you really don’t need to dirty more than a couple measurement tools.
-1 ½ cups (187 g) all-purpose flour
-1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- ¼ cup (29.5 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup (237 g) water
Grease or line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper
Whisk together dry ingredients.
Add wet ingredients.
Bake at 350 for about 30-35 minutes
as an alternative birthday treat for if you dont like cake that much. still festive and special since it’s sliceable, shareable, iceable, and candleable
