Description

A really moist dark chocolate cake. Easy to put together and just as easy to eat the whole thing by yourself.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 1-½ cup Flour
  • ¼ cups Hershey's Special Dark Cocoa
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • 1 cup Water
  • ½ cups Oil
  • 1 Tablespoon White Vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup Chocolate Chips

Preparation

Mix sugar, flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.

Mix the water, oil, vinegar, and vanilla in a measuring cup.

Combine wet and dry ingredients with a whisk. The batter should be very runny.

Grease an 8×8 pan and pour batter in, then sprinkle chocolate chips on top. Bake at 350ºF for around 30–40 minutes depending on your oven’s temperament.

Sprinkle with powdered sugar, slick on some frosting or serve with hot fudge and caramel (these make great cupcakes too!).

I really like this cake. I first made it when I had a vegan friend coming to visit. It is really delicious. I don’t like icing so having the chips on top is perfect for me. You could ice it if you wanted to. If you make cupcakes with it, use liners as the cake is delicate and when I tried they wouldn’t come out without falling apart.

This makes a truly exceptional cake! I asked my hubby what he thought and he just said “don’t bother me…. eating” which he usually only does when something is especially delicious! It bakes up fluffy and tall its really a nice cake! I love baking but hate when a cake and frosting together require a pound of butter! I knew a cake didn’t need butter or eggs to be delicious I’m glad I found this recipe!
