Easy Chocolate Cake

  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 c sugar
  • pinch of salt

  • 1 T. vinegar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 c. cold water
1. Sift dry ingredients into a greased 8x8 pan.
2. Make 3 wells in the dry mixture. Pour the oil into one, vinegar into the other, and vanilla into the third. Pour water over entire pan and mix well with a fork.

***Double the recipe for an 9x13 cake

Instead of icing, you can sprinkle with confectionery sugar for a quick and healthier topping.
