INGREDIENTS
  • 1 1/2 cups of plain flour (can substitute with whole wheat flour)
  • 3 tablespoons of sifted good quality cocoa
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup white or brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
  • 5 tablespoons canola oil (can substitute with any veg oil)
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup cold water

METHOD
Put your flour into mixing bowl, add cocoa, baking soda, sugar and salt and mix well.

Make three deep holes in the dry mixture. Into one pour the oil, into the next pour the vinegar, and into the last pour the vanilla.

Pour the water into the bowl, over all of this -- making a great big mess.

Mix the wet and dry ingredients together until there aren't any more lumps and pour into a 23 x 23 centimeter (9 x 9 inch) baking pan, 5 centimeters / 2 inches deep, it doesn't even have to be greased.

Bake at 180C/350F for about half an hour, test with a fork.


NOTES
This recipe is great for adults and for kids ages 3 and up.

Enjoy this delicious cake, you will be surprised at its moistness and richness! It can be cooled and iced with your choice of icing or can be enjoyed on its own. The batter can also be used to make cupcakes! For an instant cake, have the premeasured, premixed dry ingredients at hand, then simply add the wet ingredients when you want a fresh treat. It makes a great birthday cake! Hey, it even freezes well!

maybe i did this recipe wrong but it wasnt very moist at all when i made it, it was actually really dense. Maybe if I added some soymilk or applesause to the recipe next time it would turn out better.

Its a good start off but I think it needs to be tweaked a little.
