🍰 No-Fail Chocolate Cake (Full Recipe)

Ingredients

• 1½ cups all-purpose flour

• 1 cup sugar

• ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• ½ teaspoon salt

• 1 cup water

• ⅓ cup vegetable oil

• 1 tablespoon vinegar (apple cider vinegar or white vinegar both work)

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

3. Add the water, vegetable oil, vinegar, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth — the batter will be a bit runny, but that’s okay!

4. Pour the batter into a greased 8-inch round or square cake pan.

5. Bake for 28–32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

6. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

7. Frost with your favorite icing or just dust with powdered sugar. Enjoy!
