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

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.

4
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.

My version of a Japanese pork and egg noodle soup recipe from a magazine but mine is easier to make. You can simply pour the soup over rice if you prefer.
