How to Make Wacky Cake Spice Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  3. Add 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1 cup water, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and 1 cup strong brewed coffee (or 1 cup more water).
  4. Stir vigorously with a whisk or spoon until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before serving. Enjoy!
