Inexpensive water cake recipe – no milk, no eggs, no butter? No problem! Just like my “no eggs chocolate cake”, you can make the white cake version of this simple, crumby sweet treat.
– 3 1 /2 cups all purpose flour — unbleached is preferred, but bleached will work as well
– 1 1/4 cups white sugar
– 1/4 salt
– 2 tsp baking powder
– 1 tsp vanilla extract — optional
– 250 ml oil
– 400 ml water
– 1-2 tsp lemon or orange zest
In a bowl combine the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. Whisk to combine. Add the water, oil and vanilla. Beat until just incorporated. Add citrus zest if using any and mix to combine.
