Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups warm water
- 2/3 cup canola or vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons white vinegar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Make three wells in the dry ingredients. Pour in the water, oil, vinegar, and vanilla extract.
- Mix until just combined. Do not overmix. The batter will be thin.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool completely before frosting (optional) and serving.
Notes
For an extra decadent treat, frost with your favorite chocolate frosting. You can also add chocolate chips to the batter! This cake is best stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you don’t have white vinegar, apple cider vinegar can be used as a substitute. For a richer flavor, try using brewed coffee instead of water.
