Depression Cake III
This cake is a true testament to creativity in cooking during tougher times. Despite its humble beginnings, the flavors it brings are anything but ordinary.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder until well combined.
- Make three wells in the dry ingredients. In one well, pour in the vegetable oil. In the second well, add the vinegar, and in the third well, pour in the vanilla extract.
- Carefully pour the water over the entire mixture. Using a whisk, mix all the ingredients together until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix—it’s fine if there are a few lumps.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve the cake as it is or top with your favorite frosting or powdered sugar for extra sweetness. Enjoy!
This Depression Cake III is not just a dessert, but a story of resilience and creativity in the kitchen. It’s simple, yet rich in flavor, and makes for a great treat for any occasion. I hope you enjoy baking this as much as I do!
