Let’s get back to business and jump right into the Wacky Cake recipe.

Ingredients:

1. 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour or the masters say it their canvas
2. 1 cup of sugar, sweetnesssssss is key!
3. 1 teaspoon of baking soda, let it rise
4. 1/2 teaspoon of salt for a pinch of balance
5. 1 cup of water or H2O they say
6. 1/3 cup of vegetable oil to keep it smoooooth
7. 1 tablespoon of vinegar- shhhh it’s the secret twist
8. 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract for a splash of charm

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven :

First things first, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper. We don't want any chip-chippy situations!

2. Mix Dry Ingredients :

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Mix well. Let them all party in the bowl - everyone needs to mingle!

3. Combine Wet Ingredients :

In a separate bowl or measuring cup, mix the water, vegetable oil, vinegar, and vanilla extract. This is where the magic begins.

Vinegar in a cake? Trust me, it works!

4. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients :

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined and smooth. Be careful not to overmix—let’s not make the cake angry and uncomfortable..

5. Bake :

Let it flow. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
