Cook Time: 25 minutes

Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 cup cocoa
  • 1/4 cup oil
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 2 tbsp vinegar dissolved in 1/4 cup water
  • 3/4 cup strong brewed coffee or espresso
  • 3/4 cup raspberry preserves

Preparation:

Mix together flour, sugar, baking soda and cocoa in a large mixing bowl.

Slowly incorporate oil and vanilla, and then vinegar in water, coffee and raspberry preserves. When batter is well mixed, it will be smooth and creamy.

Pour into greased and battered cake pans and bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until done. You'll know a cake is done baking when you stick a toothpick into the top and it comes out clean, with no cake on the edges.

Allow to cool before frosting.

Enjoy!

delicious, Guest tdall

I needed to make a cake for a multitude of people with food allergies, this cake looked like the best option (with some alterations). Therefore I had a gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free, soy-free cake! gluten-free = Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Baking Flour cane sugar-free = Brown Rice Syrup ~3/4 c. & ~1/4 c molasses (I think the Brown Rice Syrup gave it a bit of an after-taste, but not bad.) oil = apple sauce coffee = coconut milk
