For an extra rich flavor, try using Dutch-processed cocoa powder. Feel free to experiment with different extracts like almond or peppermint for a unique twist. This cake is fantastic on its own, but even better with a generous slathering of your favorite vegan frosting. Chocolate or vanilla are classic choices, or try a coffee-flavored frosting for something different. If you don't have distilled white vinegar, apple cider vinegar can be used as a substitute. Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour an 8-inch round cake pan to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda. This ensures a light and even texture. (3 minutes)
03
StepAdd the water, oil, vinegar, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat with an electric mixer or whisk until the batter is smooth and well combined. Be careful not to overmix. (2 minutes)
04
StepPour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading evenly. (1 minute)
05
StepBake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking for doneness around 28 minutes, but it may take up to 35 minutes depending on your oven. (28-35 minutes)
06
StepLet the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely. (1 hour)
