Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Water
- 0.33 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon White vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8x8-inch square baking pan.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to combine evenly.
Make three small wells in the dry mixture. Pour the vegetable oil into one well, the vinegar into another, and the vanilla extract into the third.
Carefully pour the water over the entire mixture and stir until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Optional: Dust the top with powdered sugar or frost with your favorite icing for added sweetness.
