Me baking a chocolate cake without butter
Hey bloggers
So today I made chocolate cake and it tasted delicious and I would differently recemend it for people who love chocolate cake here is a picture.
- All-purpose Flour. The base of the cake. All-purpose flour is fine, but for an even softer cake, use cake flour instead.
- Sugar. The cake sweetener. Granulated sugar, raw sugar, or coconut sugar all work. You can adjust the amount to suit your taste, but do not go below 3/4 cup as it will make the cake dry.
- Baking Soda. The leavening agent. To make sure it’s still potent, test it by adding vinegar in a bowl. It should fizz upon contact.
- Unsweetened Cocoa Powder. It’s what makes the cake super chocolaty! Use natural cocoa powder for a lighter cake, dutch-processed for a darker one.
- Vegetable Oil. Adding oil makes any cake seriously rich and moist.
- Distilled White Vinegar. It reacts with the baking soda, causing the cake to rise. Apple cider vinegar works, too.
- Water. Cake recipes need a form of liquid to saturate the dry ingredients. Most recipes will call for milk, but since milk was scarce during the Great Depression, water is used instead
