Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 9 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  2. 1 cup granulated sugar
  3. 1 teaspoon baking soda
  4. 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  5. 1/2 teaspoon salt
  6. 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  7. 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  8. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  9. 1 cup water

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Whisk the dry ingredients until well combined and no lumps remain.
  3. Create three wells in the dry ingredient mixture. In one well, pour the white vinegar. In another well, add the vegetable oil. In the third well, add the vanilla extract.
  4. Slowly pour the water over all the ingredients in the bowl. Using a whisk or spatula, mix thoroughly until the batter is smooth and no dry streaks remain. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking pan, ensuring it is evenly distributed. Gently tap the pan on the counter to release any air bubbles.
  6. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake - it should come out clean with just a few moist crumbs.
  7. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Optional: Once cooled, dust the cake with powdered sugar or top with a simple cinnamon glaze for extra flavor.
  9. Slice into 9 equal squares and serve. The cake can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Tips

  1. Measure Accurately: For the best results, make sure to measure your flour and sugar accurately. Too much flour can lead to a dense cake, while too little may result in a cake that doesn’t rise properly.
  2. Don’t Overmix: When combining your wet and dry ingredients, mix until just combined. Overmixing can lead to a tougher texture, so be gentle!
  3. Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary, so start checking your cake a few minutes before the suggested baking time. Insert a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
  4. Cooling Time: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for at least 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. This helps prevent it from breaking apart.
  5. Add a Twist: For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding chopped nuts or raisins to the batter before baking. You can also experiment with different spices like nutmeg or ginger for a unique twist.
  6. Storage: Keep your Cinnamon Spice Crazy Cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. It also tastes great chilled!
  7. Serving Suggestions: Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with a simple cinnamon glaze for an extra touch of sweetness. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert!
