Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease an 8-inch (20cm) round or square baking pan. If desired, line the pan with parchment paper for easier removal.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt to ensure there are no lumps and the dry ingredients are evenly combined.
Create a small well in the center of the dry mixture. Add the vegetable oil, white vinegar, and vanilla extract into the well.
Gradually pour the water into the bowl while stirring the mixture with a whisk or spatula. Continue mixing until the batter is smooth and no dry streaks remain. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the surface with a spatula if necessary.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve plain or with your favorite frosting, powdered sugar dusting, or a dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy!
