Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Grease an 8-inch round or square baking pan and lightly dust it with flour or cocoa powder.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Make a small well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the water, vegetable oil, white vinegar, and vanilla extract.
Mix the wet and dry ingredients together with a whisk or spatula until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain. Avoid overmixing.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and gently tap it on the countertop a few times to release any air bubbles.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake 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 or frosting.
Enjoy your delicious, dairy-free chocolate cake!
