Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 200g all-purpose flour
- 200g sugar
- 75g cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp vinegar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan to prevent the cake from sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk the dry ingredients together until they are well combined and there are no lumps.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the water, vegetable oil, vinegar, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently mix the two together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Once the batter is mixed, pour it into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- After baking, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cake is completely cool, you can frost it with your favorite chocolate frosting or serve it plain. Cut into 12 equal servings and enjoy your delicious chocolate cake!
Tips
- Measure Accurately: Ensure you measure your ingredients accurately for the best results. Use a kitchen scale for the flour and sugar to avoid any discrepancies.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to a dense cake, so a few lumps are perfectly fine!
- Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary in temperature, so keep an eye on your cake as it bakes. Use a toothpick to check for doneness; it should come out clean when the cake is ready.
- Cooling is Key: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. This helps prevent it from breaking apart.
- Frosting Options: Get creative with your frosting! Whether you prefer a rich chocolate ganache or a simple dusting of powdered sugar, the choice is yours to make this cake even more irresistible.
- Storage: If you have leftovers (which is unlikely!), store your cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or refrigerate it for longer freshness.
