Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon White vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round or square cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper to ensure easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until the dry ingredients are well-blended.

Step 3

Create three wells in the dry mixture. Pour the vegetable oil into one well, the white vinegar into another, and the vanilla extract into the last well.

Step 4

Pour the water over all the ingredients in the bowl. Mix everything together with a whisk or spatula until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain. Be careful not to over-mix.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it out evenly.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 7

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

Optional: Dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar for a simple finish, or serve as is for a rich and moist treat.

Step 9

Slice and enjoy your quick and delightful Blitzkrieg Cake!
