Moist Chocolate Cake
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup sugar
3 tbs baking cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
6 tbs vegetable oil
1 tbs vinegar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup cold water
Confectioners sugar
In a mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients. Using a spoon, make three wells in the dry ingredients. Pour oil into one, vinegar into another and vanilla into the third. Slowly pour water overall. Mix on low speed until thoroughly combined batter will be thin. Pour into a greased and flowered 8 in.² baking pan.
Bake at 375° for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the centre comes out clean. Cool. Dust with confectioners sugar. Yield 6 to 8 servings. Editors note: Pieces of cake can be wrapped individually and frozen for a quick dessert.

This recipe is also known as Depression Cake or Wacky Cake.
You can replace the cocoa with the zest of two lemons (or oranges).
Use juice of fruit plus enough water to equal the 1 cup water.
Good with a sprinkle of icing sugar or with a drizzle of glaze.

I love having a smaller cake since it is just two of us. This looks like it's simple enough to make without a lot of planning since I would have all the ingredients. Thanks for another good idea.

This cake looks delicious! It reminds me of a recipe that I used to have (but lost) that was a basic yellow cake . By adding different ingredients ( cocoa,
flavorings,etc), it was very versatile.
This recipe will make a nice replacrment so thank you so much for sharing it.
❤ and 🙏

Fast and easy is an understatement! It's kind of hard to mess up a chocolate cake. Some batters are very thin, and they surprise me. Have you ever tried a mayonnaise chocolate cake?
It's a wise cook who knows their own oven. VERY few are perfectly calibrated.

[@HerCookbookShelf]

Ho Tonette. I have had mayonnaise cake. So good! 😊 Thanks for popping over here.

I make the chocolate and vanilla versions of this cake. With homemade icing. It’s commonly known as Depression Cake.

[@HerCookbookShelf]

Yes. 😊

[@fionaclarke4828]

I have a recipe very similar to this. It’s called a Depression Cake because of no eggs or dairy. It makes a great cake doesn’t it? I have been baking mine for years and is a popular birthday cake recipe.

[@HerCookbookShelf]

Yes.
