Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground cloves
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Water
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon Vinegar (white or apple cider)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Raisins (optional)
• 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional, e.g., walnuts or pecans)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and salt. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.

Step 3

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the water, vegetable oil, vinegar, and vanilla extract. Stir until the batter is smooth and well combined, but do not overmix.

Step 4

If using, fold in the raisins and/or chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 7

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

Once cooled, slice and serve as-is, or dust with powdered sugar or glaze with an icing of your choice. Enjoy!
