Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and dust with flour, or line with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In another bowl, whisk together the almond milk, vegetable oil, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until you have a smooth batter. Be careful not to over-mix.
Stir in the water to thin the batter slightly. The batter will be slightly runny.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and gently tap it on the counter to remove any bubbles.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely before frosting or serving.
