Why You’ll Love This Recipe

  • No eggs required – perfect for vegetarians or allergy-friendly baking
  • Moist and fudgy – thanks to simple pantry ingredients
  • One bowl recipe – minimal mess, maximum deliciousness
  • Customizable – dress it up with frosting, fruit, or just a dusting of powdered sugar

Ingredients

For the Cake:

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup water
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tbsp white or apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Optional for Garnish or Topping:

  • Chocolate ganache or frosting
  • Powdered sugar
  • Fresh berries

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round or square cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Add wet ingredients: Make a well in the center and add water, oil, vinegar, and vanilla extract. Mix well until the batter is smooth and lump-free. Avoid overmixing.
  4. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  5. Cool: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. Decorate (optional): Frost with your favorite icing, drizzle with ganache, or dust with powdered sugar.

Tips for Success

  • Use fresh baking soda – since this recipe relies on baking soda to rise, make sure yours is active.
  • Don’t skip the vinegar – it reacts with the baking soda to give the cake lift and softness.
  • Let it cool fully before slicing or frosting to avoid a crumbly texture.

Serving Suggestions

  • A scoop of vanilla ice cream
  • A dollop of whipped cream
  • A layer of jam or chocolate spread in the center for a surprise twist

Storage

Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. It also freezes beautifully—wrap slices in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2 months.
