Ingredients:
- 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup water
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon white or apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
Grease a round or square cake pan with oil or line it with parchment paper.
Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Sifting helps to remove lumps and aerate the dry ingredients.
Combine Wet Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, mix together the water, vegetable oil, vinegar, and vanilla extract.
Ensure that the mixture is well combined.
Combine Dry and Wet Mixtures:
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
Do not overmix, as it can affect the texture of the cake.
Bake:
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool:
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional: Frosting or Ganache (if desired):
Once the cake has cooled, you can frost it with your favorite frosting or drizzle it with chocolate ganache.
Serve:
Slice and serve the delicious eggless chocolate cake!
It’s great on its own or with a scoop of ice cream.
