Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 cups Vegetable oil
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon White vinegar
- 1 cup Water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan or lightly spray it with non-stick baking spray.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
Make three wells in the dry mixture: one larger well for the oil, and two smaller wells for the vinegar and vanilla extract.
Step 4
Pour the vegetable oil into the large well, the vinegar into one small well, and the vanilla extract into the other small well.
Step 5
Slowly pour the water over the entire mixture and stir with a whisk or spatula until everything is combined and the batter is smooth. Be sure not to overmix.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Step 8
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. Optionally, top with powdered sugar, frosting, or fruit for added flavor.
