Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and dust with flour, or line with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the almond milk, vegetable oil, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until you have a smooth batter. Be careful not to over-mix.

Step 5

Stir in the water to thin the batter slightly. The batter will be slightly runny.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and gently tap it on the counter to remove any bubbles.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely before frosting or serving.
