This recipe is one of the many delicious recipes that I made from Weeknight Dinners by Gooseberry Patch, which has quickly become one of my favorites. For more of our reviews on this fantastic and family-friendly cookbook, please check out our posts for Italian Baked Chicken and Savory Onion Roasted Veggies, which also hail from Weeknight Dinners.
We are sorry, but the giveaway for this post has ended.
INGREDIENTS:
- 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1-3/4 cups sugar, divided
- 1/2 cup baking cocoa
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2/3 cup oil
- 2 Tbsp vinegar
- 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups cold brewed coffee or water (I used cold instant decaf rather than brewing a pot of coffee)
- 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
DIRECTIONS:
- Preheat oven to 350. Add flour, 1-1/2 cups of the sugar, cocoa, baking soda and salt to an ungreased 13"x9" metal baking pan. Stir with a fork to mix.
- Use a spoon to form 3 wells in the flour mixture. Pour oil into one well, vinegar into one well, and vanilla into one well. Pour cold coffee or water over all ingredients; stir quickly with fork until well mixed. Do not beat.
- Combine cinnamon and remaining 1/4 cup of sugar; sprinkle evenly over batter. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until cake tests done with a toothpick.
Time: 10 minutes prep; 35-40 baking
