  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 9 servings

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup lukewarm water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish to prevent the cake from sticking, and set it aside.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, vegetable oil, lukewarm water, and vanilla extract until they are thoroughly combined and smooth.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Add the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt to the wet mixture.
  4. Combine Batter: Whisk the ingredients gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix to maintain a tender crumb.
  5. Add Vinegar: Stir in the white vinegar until just combined. The vinegar reacts with the baking soda to help the cake rise and become fluffy. Avoid overmixing at this stage.
  6. Pour Batter into Pan: Transfer the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  7. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 24 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  8. Cool: Once baked, allow the cake to cool in the pan before slicing and serving to let the texture set properly.

Notes

  • Use lukewarm water to help the sugar dissolve properly for a smoother batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the cake light and fluffy.
  • The white vinegar is key for activating the baking soda to make the cake rise without eggs.
  • Test doneness with a toothpick; if it comes out clean or with a few crumbs, the cake is ready.
  • Let the cake cool completely if you plan to frost it or serve it as a dessert.
