Equipment
- Baking Pan
- Cooling Rack
- Icing Spatula
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups (187 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- ¼ cup (29.5 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup (237 g) water
FROSTING
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (125 g) confectioners' sugar
- 3 tablespoons whole milk, or heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or give it a quick spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a big bowl, mix together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda. Just whisk them all together.
- Add vanilla, vinegar, oil, and water to the bowl. Stir everything together until it's all mixed up. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake it in the oven for 30-35 minutes. You know it's ready when a toothpick comes out with a few crumbs (not all clean!). Let it cool while you get the frosting ready.
Frosting
- Using a hand-held mixer, blend room temperature butter, cocoa, honey, vanilla, and confectioners sugar.
- Turn on the mixer low and let it mix everything for about 30 seconds.
- Slowly add milk, one tablespoon at a time, until it's the thickness you like. It might not need all 3 tablespoons – you might need a bit more. It depends on the season and your kitchen.
