Instructions:

Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Prepare a 9-inch round cake pan by greasing it lightly.

Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt until well combined.
-
Prepare wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the oil, vanilla extract, and cider vinegar with 1 cup of cold water until evenly blended.
-
Combine ingredients: Gradually whisk the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, ensuring there are no lumps in the batter. Mix until the batter is smooth and free of any flour pockets.

Pour batter: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Bake: Place the cake pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top of the cake springs back when gently pressed.
