Ingredients

1.75 cups self-rising flour
0.75 cup vanilla-infused sugar
0.33 cup vegetable oil
1 cup carbonated water
frosting of your choice (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8 inch square baking pan thoroughly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and sugar. Add the oil and half of the carbonated water. Mix until the batter is smooth and without lumps. Pour in the remaining carbonated water and stir to combine completely.
Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely before frosting.
If desired, frost the cooled cake with your favorite frosting recipe.
