Create Quick Tip: Wacky Cake

Add flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt to a square pan and whisk together.

Make craters in the dry ingredients: one large crater for vegetable oil, and two smaller craters for distilled white vinegar and vanilla.

Pour vegetable oil into the larger crater.

Add distilled white vinegar and vanilla into the two smaller craters.

Pour in 1 cup of water.

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.
