Ingredients
- 180 grams all-purpose flour
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 35 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 240 milliliters water
- 80 milliliters vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Step 2
Choose an ungreased 20x20 cm (8x8-inch) square baking pan or a 23 cm (9-inch) round baking pan.
Step 3
Sift the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt directly into the baking pan. Use a fork or spoon to mix the dry ingredients evenly across the pan.
Step 4
Make three small wells in the dry mixture—one larger and two smaller.
Step 5
Pour the vegetable oil into the largest well, the vinegar into one of the smaller wells, and the vanilla extract into the other smaller well.
Step 6
Slowly pour the water over the top of all the ingredients in the pan.
Step 7
Using a fork, gently stir everything together until the batter is smooth and no dry patches remain. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 8
Smooth the surface of the batter with the back of the spoon or fork.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 10
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing.
Step 11
Serve plain, dusted with powdered sugar, or topped with whipped cream or frosting of your choice.
