Why buy a cake mix? It’s a waste of money. Make it from scratch and then sit back with a piece chocolate cake and a cup of hot chocolate. It’s so easy and I’ve never had a failure. NOTE: This makes a small cake. It’s quick and easy.
Chocolate Cake
1 2/3 cups flour
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup cocoa
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup water
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp vinegar
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup chocolate chips (opt)
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350° F (175°C).
Mix flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda and salt with a fork. Mix in remaining ingredients (except chocolate chips).
Pour into 8×8 ungreased pan. For a double chocolate cake sprinkle chocolate chips over the batter. Bake until wooden pick inserted in centre comes out clean (approx 35 – 45 minutes) or until the cake springs back when touched in the centre. Allow cake to cool in pans for 5 minutes and then place on rack to cool completely. Frost as desired.
