Quick and Easy Chocolate Cake

I made this quick cake for Christmas Eve dinner. It is a "dump cake" - that is, you dump everything in a bowl, mix it together by hand, pour into the pan, bake, and serve. It's served with a sprinkle of powdered sugar, so it's a really great dessert to make when you don't have a lot of time. The recipe is also vegan, although I quickly negated that by serving it with a scoop of peppermint ice cream...


Ingredients:

  • 1 1/4 C. AP flour
  • 1/3 C. cocoa powder
  • 1 C. sugar
  • 3/4 tsp. baking soda
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/3 C. vegetable oil
  • 1 C. water
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp. white vinegar
  • powdered sugar, for serving
Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl until smooth. Pour into a greased 8x8 baking pan. Bake at 325 for 30 minutes. Cool completely before slicing. Sprinkle with powdered sugar just before serving.
