How to Make Mix N Bake Cocoa Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In the prepared pan, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
  4. Add the milk, oil, lemon juice, and vanilla extract to the well.
  5. Beat with a fork until just smooth (about 2 minutes). Don't overmix!
  6. Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides and bottom of the pan, ensuring all dry ingredients are incorporated.
  7. Level the batter evenly in the pan.
  8. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before cutting.
  10. Once cooled, cut into squares and dust with powdered sugar, if desired.
