How to Make Simple Cocoa Cakes
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Grease and flour your Nordic Ware bouquet pans. (If using lighter-colored pans, preheat oven to 350°F (175°C)).
- In a large bowl, sift together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ½ cup water, ½ cup vegetable oil, and 1 tablespoon white vinegar.
- Mix well until the batter is smooth.
- Pour batter evenly into the prepared pans, filling each about ¾ full.
- Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. (If using lighter-colored pans, bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes).
- Let cool in the pans for 15 minutes.
- Invert the pans onto a wire rack to cool completely.
