  • Yield: 12 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
⅓ cup vegetable oil
1 cup water
Chocolate frosting of your choice

Instructions

1️⃣ Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). 🔥

2️⃣ Grease a 13×9 inch pan with butter. 🧈

3️⃣ In the greased pan, combine the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, and salt. 🥄

4️⃣ Whisk lightly with a fork or small whisk to combine. 🍴

5️⃣ Make two small wells on the sides and one large well in the middle of the dry ingredients. 🕳️
