Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Water
- 0.33 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon White vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8-inch round or square baking pan.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Create a small well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in the water, vegetable oil, white vinegar, and vanilla extract.
Mix the wet and dry ingredients together using a whisk or spatula until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Optional: Dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with chocolate glaze, or top with fresh fruit for added flavor and presentation.
