A delightful and easy-to-make recipe for a Chocolate Depression Cake that requires no milk, eggs, or butter. This cake is moist, rich in chocolate flavor, and topped with a luscious chocolate frosting.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cup All-purpose Flour
  • 1/3 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt

Liquid Ingredients:

  • 1 teaspoon White Vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1/3 cup Vegetable Oil
  • 1 cup Water

Additional:

  • Chocolate Frosting of your choice
  • Rainbow Sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Grease a 13×9 pan with butter.

  3. In the greased pan, combine the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Whisk lightly with a fork or small whisk to combine.

  5. Make two small wells on the sides and 1 large well in the middle of the dry ingredients.
  6. Pour the vinegar and vanilla into the small wells, then pour the oil in the big well. If they spill over the wells, that’s perfectly okay.

  7. Pour the water over the top and whisk again to combine thoroughly.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  9. Cool completely.
  10. Frost the cake with your choice of chocolate frosting. Our 5-Minute Chocolate Buttercream Frosting is wonderful with this cake!
  11. Optional; sprinkle rainbow sprinkles on top.
  12. Enjoy!

Notes

  • This cake is great for vegans and those with dairy or egg allergies.
  • If you prefer a richer frosting, try a ganache or cream cheese frosting.
