By mirelsonp

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon all purpose flour
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup hot water
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vinegar
• 1/8 teaspoon vanilla

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 350º F. Spray a 4" x 2" round cake pan with baking spray.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

2. Whisk together water, oil, vinegar, and vanilla in a cup. Add to dry ingredients and whisk just until combined.

3. Bake 18 - 20 minutes or until a tester comes out clean. Allow to cool completely before frosting. (I frosted the cake with cream cheese icing.)
