Chocolate Wacky Cake Directions
1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cupcake pans with paper liners. Set aside.
2) Whisk together flour, sugar, salt, soda, and cocoa in a large mixing bowl.

3) Using a spoon, make three depressions. Pour oil into one well, vinegar into the second, and vanilla into the third. Pour water over all, and stir well with a fork.

4) Fill the liners with batter, until about 2/3 full. Bake for 12-16 minutes, until the center of the cupcakes spring back when lightly touched and an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

5) Cool in pan for 10 minutes. Remove cupcakes and place on a cooling rack. Allow cupcakes to cool completely before frosting.
