Depression Era Chocolate Cake
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup water
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a high temperature, specifically 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 175 degrees Celsius.
2
Combine dry ingredients such as flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in an 8x8-inch cake pan that has not been greased. Create three indentations or depressions in the flour mixture and fill each one with a different liquid: oil, vinegar, and vanilla extract.
3
Pour water over the entire mixture to help bind everything together. Use a fork to mix all the ingredients until they are well combined and there are no lumps.
4
Bake your cake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, requiring anywhere from 30 to 40 minutes of cooking time.
