Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup water

Instructions

  1. Prepare the batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and baking powder. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
  2. Add wet ingredients: Pour in the vegetable oil and water. Stir gently until the batter is smooth and free of lumps, taking care not to overmix to maintain a light texture.
  3. Bake the cake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking pan and pour the batter into it, spreading evenly. Bake for approximately 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  4. Cool and serve: Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve as desired.

Notes

  • You may substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour if needed, but baking times may vary.
  • To add extra flavor, consider incorporating vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon into the batter.
  • Ensure not to overmix the batter to avoid a dense cake.
  • This cake pairs well with fruit toppings or dairy-free frosting for added texture and taste.
