Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups sugar

- 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup oil

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×9 square pan and set aside.
- Measure all your dry ingredients into a medium sized bowl. Using a whisk, combine them thoroughly.
- In a large bowl attached to a stand mixer, beat the eggs with the oil until combined, then add in the remaining wet ingredients.
- Combine all the ingredients for 2 minutes on low speed, scraping the sides as needed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Tap the pan lightly on the counter to release any trapped air bubbles and then place into the oven.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes OR until a cake tester/toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
