Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and grease or line an 8-inch round or square cake pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the water, oil, vinegar, and vanilla extract.
Mix the wet and dry ingredients together until just combined. Do not overmix; it's okay if there are a few small lumps.
Fold in the chocolate chips gently until evenly distributed across the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Slice and enjoy as is, or dust with powdered sugar for a decorative touch!
