Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.75 cups granulated sugar
• 0.75 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.75 teaspoons salt
• 1.5 cups water
• 0.5 cups vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

Add the water, vegetable oil, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Stir until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain, but be careful not to overmix.

Step 4

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, using a spatula to spread it evenly.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 6

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Step 7

Optional: Serve the cake plain, dusted with powdered sugar, or topped with non-dairy frosting or fresh fruit.
