The total time it takes to prepare and bake this glorious cake is about 45 minutes, most of which is time spent in the oven baking to gooey perfection.
Here’s a list of all the ingredients you’ll need to make the Crazy Chocolate Cake:
- 1 x teaspoon white vinegar
- 1 x teaspoon vanilla extract
- 5 x tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 x cup water
- 1.5 x cups all-purpose flour
- 3 x tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 x cup granulated sugar
- 1 x teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 x teaspoon kosher salt
Directions:
- The oven should be preheated to 350 degrees Fahrenheit before any further preparation begins, since it will take some time for the oven to heat.
- The Crazy Chocolate Cake can fit in either an 8-inch square cake pan or a 9-inch round cake pan. Choose your pan and grease it to avoid sticking.
- All the dry ingredients (all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking soda, kosher salt) should be added to and mixed directly in the greased pan.
- Once you’ve sufficiently blended the dry ingredients and flattened them smoothly within the bottom of the pan, press three indentations (one large and two small) into the surface of the mixture.
- Add the vanilla extract to one of the small indentations.
- Add the white vinegar to the other small indentation.
- Add the vegetable oil to the large indentation.
- Pour the water over the entire mixture and blend with a fork until the batter is smooth.
- Place the cake pan on the center oven rake once the oven has finished heating. Bake for about 35 minutes, or until a toothpick can be inserted into the cake without sticking when removed.
- Let the cake rest for a few minutes so it can cool, then apply your favorite icing or other topping.
- Slice and enjoy!
