Best 4 Vinegar Cake Recipes

Vinegar cake is a moist and flavorful cake that gets its tangy flavor from vinegar. It is a popular cake in many parts of the world, and there are many different recipes for it. Some recipes call for white vinegar, while others call for apple cider vinegar or balsamic vinegar. The type of vinegar you use will affect the flavor of the cake, so be sure to choose one that you like. Vinegar cake is often served with a cream cheese frosting, but it can also be served with a simple glaze or dusting of powdered sugar.

MRS. SCOTT'S CHOCOLATE VINEGAR CAKE

Mrs. Scott's Chocolate Vinegar Cake image

A wonderful, easy, moist, eggless chocolate cake recipe that my mother acquired from a dear friend of hers. The vinegar reacts with the soda, so there is no vinegary taste leftover as long as you use the right amounts of vinegar and baking soda. Fabulous with a rich, fudgy frosting, such as a chocolate sour cream frosting. Time doesn't include cooling time, so be sure to allow a couple-few hours to cool before frosting. Note: I usually bake this in a Pyrex tempered glass pan, and then I frost and serve it right in the pan. If you are planning to remove it from the pan before frosting and/or serving it, it may work better to lightly grease the pan and dust it with cocoa before you pour the batter in (thanks, I'mPat!).

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

3 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups lukewarm water
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 F. In electric mixer, mix the olive oil, sugar, and vanilla together until blended. In seperate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa until well sifted. Add to the sugar mixture and add the lukewarm water 1 cup at a time. Stir until well incorporated. Add the vinegar. Stir. Pour into greased 9x13 inch pan. Bake in oven for around 30 minutes. Remove from oven, let cool on wire rack. Serve at room temperature. Keeps 3-5 days chilled and covered.

Tips:

Use buttermilk for a tangy flavor: Buttermilk adds a slight tanginess to the cake, which pairs well with the sweetness of the vinegar. Plus buttermilk helps to tenderize the cake and keep it moist.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the cake is done baking. If you take the cake out of the oven too early, it will be undercooked. If you leave it in the oven for too long, it will be overcooked.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
Experiment with different frostings: Cream cheese frosting, chocolate frosting, and whipped cream frosting all pair well with vinegar cake. You can also use a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and vinegar.
