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 tablespoon White vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 5 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 cup Water
• 1.5 cups Powdered sugar (for buttercream icing)
• 0.25 cup Butter, softened (for buttercream icing)
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for buttercream icing)
• 1 tablespoon Milk (for buttercream icing)
• 0.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips (for chocolate glaze)
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream (for chocolate glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In an ungreased 8x8-inch baking dish, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

Make three wells in the dry mixture: one large well and two smaller wells.

Step 4

Pour vinegar into one small well, vanilla extract into the second small well, and vegetable oil into the large well.

Step 5

Pour the water over everything, then mix with a fork or spatula until the batter is smooth and well combined.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7

Let the cake cool completely in the baking dish before adding the icings.

Step 8

To make the chocolate glaze, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth and glossy.

Step 9

Spread the chocolate glaze evenly over the cooled cake. Let it set for about 15 minutes.

Step 10

To make the buttercream icing, beat the softened butter using a mixer until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk, beating until smooth and fluffy.

Step 11

Dollop the buttercream icing on top of the set chocolate glaze in a swirl pattern or your desired design.

Step 12

Cut into squares, serve, and enjoy!
