Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 egg
- 1/2 c. almond milk
- 1/2 c. olive oil (use the code STEWARDSHIP for 10% off at that site!)
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 1 1/2 c. flour
- 1 c. sugar
- 3 Tbs. cocoa powder (use the code STEWARDSHIP for 10% off at that site!)
- 1/2 tsp. salt (Use the code kitchenstewardship for 15% off of your first purchase)
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 c. hot water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the egg, milk, oil, and vanilla. Beat well. Sift the dry ingredients over the top of the wet ingredients and stir together until it just forms a batter. Stir in the hot water, until the batter is smooth and uniform, but do not overmix.
- Grease and flour an 8×8-inch cake pan or round, 9-inch cake pan. Pour the batter into the pan, and bake for 40-50 minutes, until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool on a cooling rack. Then serve it plain, or dust it with powdered sugar, or drizzle on a quick glaze made with powdered sugar and a little bit of almond milk.
Notes
For cupcakes: bake for 10-12 minutes
If Using Maple Syrup: Substitute the 1 cup sugar with 1 cup maple syrup and add the syrup with the wet ingredients. Decrease the hot water to 1/4 cup.
If Using Freshly Ground Flour: Add 3 tbsp of flour
