Wacky Cake
Since the arrival of our newborn, I’ve been taking the dairy-free road. Having walked this path once before with her older brother, I have a few recipes tucked away. Particularly, recipes for chocolate goodness.
This chocolate cake is dairy free, but I think anyone would like it. Besides,you can scare your family by getting the vinegar out and telling them you’re making chocolate cake! Or, if you deliver meals often to friends, keep this as a recipe to pull out and surprise a dairy free friend. She’ll be delighted to get something sweet she can actually eat!
I made this recipe into mini muffins for a bite-size chocolate treat. Well, I also added in an extra tablespoon of cocoa for good measure!
Wacky Cake
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 3 Tbsp. cocoa
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
- 5 Tbsp. oil
- 1 cup cold water
Preheat oven to 350. Mix dry ingredients in a bowl. Add vanilla, vinegar,
oil, and water. Blend well and pour into ungreased 9×11 pan. Bake 25-30
minutes. Or using a muffin tin with liners, bake into 12 cupcakes and bake
for 20 minutes.
Note: I also used apple-cider vinegar instead of balsamic-either will work. If the vinegar still worries you, trust a chocolate lover, it all turns out fine!
