Preparation

Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Without an oven, a large heavy casserole, skillet or a Dutch oven large enough to hold the baking pan is necessary. It must have a cover. Preheat this utensil over high heat for 10 minutes.
Step 2
Mix dry ingredients in an eight-inch-square pan, preferably nonstick. Make three wells in the mixture with the back of a spoon and pour the vanilla into one, the vinegar into the second and the oil into the third. Add the cold water. Mix well with a spoon, taking care to mix the ingredients from the corners of the pan.
Step 3
Place the pan in the oven or on a rack in the Dutch oven, skillet or casserole, covered. Bake about 30 minutes until a cake tester comes out clean. Cool before cutting.
