How to make a chocolate cake

Ingredients

1 1/2 cup. (192 grams.) flour

1 cup. (201 grams.) sugar

1/2 tsp. (7 grams.) salt

1 tsp. (2 grams.) baking soda

3 tbsp. (43 grams.) cocoa

1 tbsp. (15 ml.) vinegar

6 tbsp. (90 ml.) oil

1 tsp. (5 ml.) vanilla essence or 1/2 tsp. (2.5 ml) vanilla extract

1 c. (237 ml.) water

1 egg

Steps
1) Sift the dry ingredients together.

These are the flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, and cocoa. Simply place everything in a sieve and shake it back and forth over a bowl to eliminate clumps.

2) Stir in the liquid ingredients and stir well.

These are the vinegar, oil, vanilla, water, and egg. Some people like to add these ingredients individually, but others stir them together in a second bowl and before adding them to the dry ingredients.

3 )Pour the mixture into an 8-inch greased and floured round pan.

The grease and flour will keep the mix from sticking to the pan.


4 ) Bake at 350 degrees F. (175 C.) for 30 minutes.

5)  Let the cake cool for 5 min.

6 )  Frost as desired.
