Nana's chocolate snack cake recipe has been my go-to recipe for several years when it was time to whip up a treat for special occasions. I've been on a quest for a while to find the perfect eggless white cake recipe. I've tried a couple that were acceptable, but they all included an ingredient I don't normally keep on hand. So I decided to try the never-fail chocolate cake recipe minus the cocoa-and landed upon the best eggless vanilla cake yet! Super moist. Not too dense. It makes the perfect cake for pineapple pastry cake, too. Recipe for that will be posted soon!
Chocolate Snack Cake
1 1/2 c all purpose flour
3/4 c sugar
1/3 c cocoa
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 c water
1/2 c canola oil
2 Tbs white vinegar
2 tsp vanilla extract
Combine first 5 ingredients. In separate bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients & stir to combine. Pour into greased 8 inch square pan and bake at 375 degrees for 25-30 minutes. *Optional-- Once out of oven, sprinkle 1 c chocolate chips and when chips looks melted, spread with a knife.
For vanilla cake
Instead of 1/3 cup cocoa, add additional 1/3 cup flour.
For orange cake
Instead of 1/3 cup cocoa, add additional 1/3 cup flour
Instead of 2 tsp vanilla extract, add 1/2 tsp vanilla extract and 1 1/2 tsp orange extract
Add 1/4 tsp orange zest (or more for taste preference)
Optional: for more intense orange flavor, as well as to help make cake more moist
-Use the juice from one orange mixed with 2-3 Tbs water to drizzle over the cake after it is baked
