This is the easiest chocolate cake in the world-perhaps in the universe! You don't even need eggs, butter, or milk, and you probably have all the ingredients on hand. I use this recipe when I'm in a time crunch, because nothing needs to be creamed, beaten, or whipped; you literally just stir things together. It tastes like the best dark chocolate sponge cake you have ever eaten.

Yield Makes one 8-or 9-inch layer cake or 24 cupcakes
Number Of Ingredients 9
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter and flour two 8- or 9-inch round cake pans, or place liners in 2 muffin pans for 24 cupcakes. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, sift the dry ingredients together. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix the vanilla extract, oil, vinegar, and cold water.
- Slowly whisk the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, being careful not to overmix. The mixture will be quite wet, but this is okay.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. For cupcakes, the baking time is 24 to 26 minutes.
- Cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool.
