- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups water
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- Food coloring (assorted colors)

Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- Add the water and apple cider vinegar to the bowl and mix until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.

- Using a spoon or a piping bag, decorate the cake with the colored frosting, creating a festive design. Add sprinkles on top for extra decoration.
- Slice and serve the cake at room temperature. Enjoy!
Interesting Facts
