ingredients
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
6 tablespoons cocoa powder, plus extra for cake pans
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons white vinegar
2 cups cold water
directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease two 9-inch round cake pans and sprinkle with cocoa powder.
Combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Add the oil, vanilla, vinegar, and water and beat on low speed with an electric mixer until smooth.
Pour the cake batter into the prepared cake pans. Place the pans in the oven and bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Be careful not to over bake the cakes.
Remove the cakes from the oven and let cool in the pans on a wire rack. Once fully cool, remove the cakes from the pans and frost as desired.

What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
