3/4 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/3 cup oil
1 tablespoon distilled vinegar
1 cup cold water
powdered sugar to top
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and lightly oil a muffin tin.
1. Place the flour, sugar, salt, baking soda and cocoa powder in a large bowl.
Mix until thoroughly combined.
2. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
Put the vanilla, oil, vinegar and water in the well.
