- ⅓ cup plus 1 tablespoon all purpose flour
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup hot water
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vinegar
- ⅛ teaspoon vanilla
Preheat oven to 350ºF. 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.
Whisk together water, oil, vinegar, and vanilla in a cup. Add to dry ingredients and whisk just until combined.
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.)
