Chocolate Crazy Cake


Published: Friday, January 17, 2025

1½ c. all-purpose flour

3 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder

1 c. granulated sugar

1 tsp. baking soda

½ tsp. salt

1 tsp. white vinegar

1 tsp. vanilla extract

5 Tbsp. vegetable oil

1 c. water

Optional toppings: powdered sugar or your favorite frosting

Preheat oven to 350°. Spray an 8" square pan with nonstick cooking spray. Mix first 5 dry ingredients in the prepared pan. Make 3 depressions in the dry ingredients—2 small, 1 larger.

Pour vinegar in one of the smaller depressions. Pour the vanilla extract in the other smaller depression and the vegetable oil in the third larger depression. Pour water over all. Mix well until smooth.

Bake on the middle rack of the oven for 35 minutes or a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely before frosting (if using). Top cooled cake with a dusting of powdered sugar or your favorite frosting. Store frosted cake in the refrigerator.
