Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Grease an 8-inch round or square baking pan with oil or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Make a small well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add the apple cider vinegar, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil into the well.
Pour the water over the top, and stir the mixture together using a whisk or spatula until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30β35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into 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.
Slice and serve as is, or dust with powdered sugar, or frost with your favorite dairy-free frosting.
