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
- 0.3 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round or square cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl or measuring cup, mix together the water, vegetable oil, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Place the cake pan into the preheated oven and bake for 28 to 32 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, carefully transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely before decorating or serving.
Customize as desired: frost with your favorite icing, sprinkle with powdered sugar, or enjoy plain!
