Ingredients
  • 1½ cups (6.4 ounces) unbleached flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ⅓ cup natural cocoa powder (not Dutch process)
  • 1½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • ½ cup canola oil – I used grapeseed oil
  • 1 cup cold water or weak coffee
Instructions
  1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In an 8-inch-square baking dish, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder and salt. Smooth out the powder.
  3. Use the handle of a wooden spoon; poke two small holes and one large hole in the dry ingredients.
  4. Put the vinegar in one small hole and the vanilla in the other.
  5. Pour the oil into the large hole. (It will overflow, not a problem.)
  6. Pour the cold water or coffee all over the top.
  7. Use the wooden spoon and stir well to blend all of the ingredients together until smooth.
  8. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 to 30 minutes.
  9. When the cake is completely cool, top with your favorite icing or sprinkle on powdered sugar.
