Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), and grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir well to combine.

Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
