Easy Italian Water Cake

cake / pastry flour

/ icing sugar

baking powder

salt

+ 2 1/2 tablespoons water (room temperature)

vegetable oil (I use corn

vanilla

Pre-heat oven to 350F (180C). Grease and flour a round 8 inch cake pan or 9 inch bundt pan.

Sift the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt into a large bowl. Add the water, vegetable oil and vanilla, beat on medium speed until completely combined.  Pour into the prepared cake pan and bake for about 40-45 minutes.  Test for doneness with a toothpick, when it comes out dry or a few crumbs attached it&#39;s done. Let cool completely then dust with powdered sugar.  Enjoy!

No eggs? No milk? No time?  No problem!  I had little time to make a dessert and this one fascinated me bc of the few ingredients.  It came out looking exactly as the illustration.  I had both bleached and unbleached cake flour in my freezer. I googled it and was told that bleached flour gives more "lift" so w/o any eggs I thought I'd use the unbleached.  But I figure either flour works well. Good to have a recipe like this when you need it.

I have made this recipe and loved it. I was wondering if I could split the batter in half and add cocoa powder to one half to make marble cake?

Thank you so much for this beautiful recipe! I made it this morning for my mother-in-law’s 88th birthday. Added in some cinnamon and orange zest. My home smelled incredible, and the happy faces eating this were everything!

I made it and everyone loved it. I added the cinnamon. This recipe it a keeper!! I was the one that asked  about Stevia. I used the powered sugar anyways. Just cut smaller pieces.

Sounds peefect to me.  Would it turn out the same if I substituted Splenda for the sugar?  Have a Happy and Safe Eastee.  Buon Natale.( not sure of the spelling.)

I am not a cake person. But since we all have to stay at home at this time and I got a new mixer I decided to make the cake. I added some cinnamon to the batter. I could eat this whole thing. It is so yummy. I will be making it again.
