Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk well to combine.
Step 3: Combine the Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, mix the vanilla extract, vinegar, vegetable oil, and water (or plant-based milk).
Step 4: Make the Batter
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Whisk gently until the batter is smooth and lump-free. Avoid overmixing.
Step 5: Bake the Cake
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 6: Cool the Cake
Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 7: Frost (Optional)
If desired, top the cooled cake with your favorite frosting, powdered sugar, or a drizzle of melted chocolate.
