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.
