This is sooo easy and really quite yummmy. It is also nice for small families, because it only makes a small cake. The recipe originally came from Taste of Home and they used a 700 watt oven to test the recipe. Mine is a 900 watt and you just have to adjust the time a bit to accomodate your microwave the first time you make it.

  • Stir in oil, cold water, vinegar, and vanilla until blended well.
  • Pour into an UNgreased 8" microwave safe square baking pan.
  • Microwave on HIGH for about 6-8 minutes, turning the dish every 2 minutes, or until a toothpick tests clean when inserted near the center.
