Wowie Cake Variations

Quantities listed for 8″ x 8″ pan.

For 9″ x 13″, multiply by 1.5.

Bake at 350 for 35 mins.

To convert to ounces of weight, multiply the grams by 1oz/28g

Ground flax seed is optional.

I recommend either all white flour or 1/2 white with 1/2 whole wheat.

Add to a mixing bowl and mix:

  • 200g sugar (1 cup)

Add the following liquids and mix:

Note: I generally use baking cocoa powder, though dutch-processed will also work. For extra smoothness, you can heat the oil and dissolve the cocoa into it.
