Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Sugar
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Water
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon White vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Take a greased 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking pan.
In the pan, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Use a fork or small whisk to mix all the dry ingredients evenly.
Make three small wells in the dry ingredients mixture: one for the vegetable oil, one for the vinegar, and one for the vanilla extract.
Pour the vegetable oil into one well, the vinegar into the second well, and the vanilla extract into the third well.
Pour the water over the entire mixture in the pan and stir carefully with a fork or spatula until the batter is smooth and no dry spots remain.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Optional: Dust the top with powdered sugar or frost with your favorite chocolate icing before serving.
