This is one of my all-time favorite, and easy to make, cakes. It makes the perfect amount of batter for an 8" round cake or twelve cupcakes. It can be doubled, tripled, quadrupled, and it still turns out great. The cake comes out moist every time and, although usually necessary for cakes, icing isn't really needed; it tastes great by itself. And the best part about this cake, it's only 60 calories for one cupcake (minus the icing of course). This recipe is from the American Heart Association cookbook.
Wacky Cake
1 1/2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
6 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1 cup water
Sift together dry ingredients. Add remaining wet ingredients. Whisk until smooth. Pour into a greased 8" round pan. Bake at 350o for about 30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. :)
