How to Make Wacky Cake

In a square pan, add 1 1/2 cups flour, 1 cup sugar, 1/3 cup cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and whisk it all together.

Make craters in the dry ingredients: pour 1/3 cup vegetable oil into the larger crater and in the two smaller craters, add 1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar and 1 teaspoon vanilla.

Pour in 1 cup water and stir until just a few streaks of flour remain.

Bake the cake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes.

Check if the cake is ready by inserting a toothpick in the middle; it should come out with a few moist crumbs.

Once cooled completely, turn the cake out of the pan and dust with confectioner's sugar.
