The BEST chocolate cake ever...that happens to be VEGAN. I kid you not!

Step 2 Mix

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In an 8X8 square pan/dish, mix together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, and salt with a fork, making sure it is really blended together. Add the water, vanilla, oil, and vinegar, and again, mix together so that it's really blended together. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides if necessary.

A cup is not always 8 oz. The poster is asking for weight not volume. A cup of water does not weigh the same as a cup of flour or sugar. However you can find sites that estimate the weight of different flours, sugar etc. Just search for "weight of cup of sugar (or whatever)". Once I make this recipe, I can weigh the ingredients and give you measurements, but that is the best I can do for now.

your measurements are in cup sizes, do you know what the uk measurements are, either in pounds/ounzes or gramms please?

Hi! 1 cup = 250ml or 25cl which is equal to 8 fl oz

It is realyy worth buying some cups, so you can cook along with our American friends. We bought them a few years ago, because we exchanged a lot of recipes with friends in the US. You should be able to get them in most cookshops

I think it's 1 cup=8 oz?

[acarey2]

A cup of liquid is 8 fl oz. This is not the same as dry ingredients. (Flour for example can weigh around 4-5 oz per cup. Sugar weighs more.) Just wanted to tell you so that you could let people know if they ask again. I will weigh my ingredients when I make this so I can provide our uk friends with weights to work with. In the mean time they can search "weight of a cup of flour" (or sugar). It's not perfect but it might help.

do you have to mix the ingredients directly in the pan- or does a mixer work as well?

A mixer should work just fine and possibly better (my deep 8x8 had some cocoa come flying out when mixing). I also had trouble getting it all stirred easily and a mixer would have solved that. Just try what seems simplest to you :)
