A nostalgic chocolate cake recipe from the Depression era, made with pantry staples and zero milk or eggs - simple and delightful.
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 6 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
  • 1 cup water
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) for the perfect cooking temperature.
  • In an 8x8-inch ungreased cake pan, combine and sift flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Create 3 wells in the mixture. Pour oil into one well, vinegar into the second, and vanilla into the third. Gradually pour water over all ingredients, then stir with a fork until thoroughly combined.
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 30-40 minutes in the preheated oven.
