This cake is a nod to a cake recipe found on the Kirbie’s cravings blog. I’ve reduced the recipe quantity, and made a couple of swaps. I frosted my cake with a Russian buttercream for a not too sweet frosting.

Ingredients
1 ¾ cups self-rising flour
¾ cup vanilla-infused sugar

Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8 x 8-inch baking dish
Whisk together flour and sugar in a large bowl. Pour in oil and half of the carbonated water. Mix well ensuring the batter is smooth and lump free. Pour in the remaining carbonated water. Stir to thoroughly combine.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
Frost with your choice of frosting if you like.
