Serves: 1 cake
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup water
- �
- � cup vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt to ensure there are no lumps and ingredients are well combined.
- Add the sugar to the dry ingredients and whisk thoroughly to distribute evenly.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the water, vegetable oil, vinegar, and vanilla extract.
- Using a whisk or electric mixer, mix the ingredients until the batter is smooth and no dry streaks remain. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cake tough.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, ensuring it is spread evenly with a spatula.
- Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
- Carefully turn out the cake onto a wire rack and allow it to cool completely before frosting or serving.
Tips
- Sifting is crucial! Take time to sift dry ingredients to prevent lumps and ensure a smooth, tender cake texture.
- Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing and more consistent results.
- Don't overmix the batter - mix just until ingredients are combined to keep the cake light and fluffy.
- For extra moisture, you can substitute water with milk or coffee to enhance the chocolate flavor.
- Check your cake's doneness by inserting a toothpick - it should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting to prevent melting and ensure a perfect finish.
- Store the cake in an airtight container to maintain its moisture and freshness.
