Mix-in-the-Pan Chocolate Cake

This is a standard cake that I make when I am running low on eggs as it doesn't need any. Quick to make  

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp. baking soda

1c. granular sugar

1/4 c. unsweetened cocoa

1/2 tsp. salt

1 T. white or cider vinegar (something that doesn't have a strong flavour)

1 tsp. pure vanilla extract

1/3 c. oil

1 c. water

Preheat the oven to 175°C. Prepare cake mold.

Combine all ingredients and mix together; the batter will be almost smooth, a few small lumps are ok and will disappear in baking.

Bake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.  Remove the cake from the oven, let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes before turning it out onto a rack. 

Tip: You can add chopped nuts, fruits or chocolate chips
