Categories     Chocolate

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 c all purpose flour
1 c sugar
1 tsp baking soda
3 Tbsp cocoa powder
1 tsp salt
6 Tbsp canola oil, crisco
1 Tbsp vinegar
1 tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

  • 1. Sift directly into ungreased cake tin - the flour, sugar, soda, cocoa and salt.
  • 2. Make holes in dry ingredients for oil, vinegar and vanilla. Pour over this 1 cup cold water and stir with fork until well mixed.
  • 3. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes.

Tips:

  • Follow the recipe precisely: Baking is a science, and precise measurements and techniques are necessary for success. Make sure you measure ingredients correctly, follow the proper steps, and pay attention to cooking times and temperatures.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste and texture of your cake. Use fresh eggs, butter, and milk, and choose high-quality flour, sugar, and cocoa powder.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together thoroughly: This step helps to incorporate air into the mixture, resulting in a light and fluffy cake. Make sure you cream the butter and sugar together until they are light and fluffy, and pay attention to the color: the mixture should be a pale yellow color.
  • Gradually add the eggs: Adding the eggs all at once can cause the mixture to curdle. Instead, add them one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix the batter only until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Bake the cake at the correct temperature: The temperature of the oven will affect the texture and doneness of the cake. Make sure you preheat the oven to the correct temperature before baking.
  • Test the cake for doneness: To test if the cake is done, insert a toothpick or skewer into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting and running off the cake.

With careful preparation and attention to detail, you can create delicious and unforgettable cakes using these recipes. Remember to follow the tips provided to ensure the best results.
