Best Wacky Cake Ever With Chocolate Glaze
- 1 1/4 cups flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon chocolate extract (optional)
- 1/3 cup canola oil
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar or 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- for the chocolate glaze
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 4 tablespoons margarine (I use Earth Balance vegan margarine)
- 2 tablespoons soymilk or 2 tablespoons almond milk, unsweetened
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- lightly spray a sqare cake pan (mine's 9x9) with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a mixing bowl, mix together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, and salt with a wisk, making sure it is blended together well.
- In a large measuring cup add the water, vanilla, oil, and vinegar, ans wisk to combine.
- Add wet ingredients to the dry and mix batter until blended together well.
- Use a spatula to scrape down the sides if necessary.
- Pour batter into cake pan, place in oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until a knife comes out clean.
- Cool on a rack completely.
- For the glaze: in a small saucepan, bring sugar, margarine, milk, and cocoa to a boil.
- Stir frequently; then reduce heat to a simmer for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat and stir for another 5 minutes.
- Add vanilla and almond, if using, stir, and immediately pour onto cake.
- The glaze will begin to dry really quickly, so if it doesn't cover the whole cake (mine usually does) spread the glaze to the edges quickly, before it dries.
- If you like, top with sprinkles, and let cool for a hour.
