This is a one-pan, budget-friendly snacking cake recipe that’s been in my family for decades. Directions on how to make it follow, and with no eggs or dairy, it couldn’t be easier than this!
Dump the ingredients in one pan, stir and bake. I believe that’s why this recipe is also called Dump Cake.

INGREDIENTS
DRY INGREDIENTS
- 3 cups flour
- 2 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup cocoa
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt

- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 2/3 cup of vegetable oil

INSTRUCTIONS
Stir dry ingredients in an ungreased 9″ square pan or a baking pan of similar size.
Make three equally spaced holes in the dry ingredients in the pan.
Pour vinegar in one hole, vegetable oil in another, and vanilla in the third space.
Gently pour two cups of water over top of everything, then stir well until all ingredients are well blended together,

NOTES
Cool and ice the top of the snacking cake if you like, or sprinkle the top with icing sugar.
I remove individual servings of the cake directly from the pan.
