Ingredients

  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 cups cold water
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 6 tablespoons cocoa
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups flour
  • 2 teaspoons soda
  • 2 tablespoons vinegar
  • 10 tablespoons oil

Instructions

  1. Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl with a wire whip.
  2. Pour the batter into a greased baking pan.
  3. Bake at 350°F for 25 to 30 minutes, until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Tips & Substitutions

For best results, sift the dry ingredients to ensure even distribution. If you prefer a richer flavor, consider adding a dash of instant coffee or espresso powder to enhance the chocolate taste. You can substitute vegetable oil with melted coconut oil for a different flavor profile. This cake can also be made gluten-free by using a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.

Serving Suggestions

This cake pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped coconut cream for a delightful contrast. You could also serve it alongside fresh berries for a fruity touch. Consider drizzling it with chocolate sauce or serving with a side of Fruit With Lemon Pudding for a refreshing complement.

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you wish to keep it longer, refrigerate for up to a week. For reheating, a quick 10-15 second burst in the microwave will revive its moist texture. Alternatively, you can serve it cold or at room temperature.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different type of oil in this recipe?

Yes, you can use any neutral oil such as canola or grapeseed oil instead of vegetable oil. Each will give a slightly different flavor, but they all work well for this cake.

What if I don't have vinegar on hand?

If you're out of vinegar, lemon juice can be a suitable substitute in equal amounts. It will provide the necessary acidity to activate the baking soda, ensuring the cake rises properly.

How do I know when the cake is done baking?

To check if the cake is done, insert a knife or toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, it's ready. If it has wet batter on it, continue baking for a few more minutes.
