Mad Scientist substitutes 1/3 cup of apple cider vinegar for one teaspoon

I want to show my non-vegan friends how good a chocolate cake can be even when no animal products go into the batter, but I goofed.  I'd already put in the 1/3 cup of  oil the recipe required, but instead of correctly reading 1 teaspoon for the apple cider vinegar for the final wet ingredient, I mentally combined the 1/3 cup of oil and the 1 t of apple cider vinegar and put 1/3 cup of apple cider vinegar in the batter.

I baked it anyway, feeling like a made scientist.

It came out tasting like pancakes--before you put on the syrup.  It looks black, but I plan to have my son close his eyes and take a bite--maybe after the syrup has been added--and ask him just what's special about these pancakes.

I did make the cake in a pan!

I don't think this is the kind of community-provided bench the SF Chronicle was talking about today in its article https://www.sfchronic...
