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
- 0.33 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon White vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch square baking pan or round cake pan.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Create a small well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add the vegetable oil, white vinegar, and vanilla extract to the well.
Pour the water into the bowl and stir gently with a whisk or spoon until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool completely before removing from the pan.
Once cooled, serve as is or dust with powdered sugar, frost with your favorite icing, or enjoy alongside whipped cream or ice cream.
