Preparation and Cooking Time

Cooking Time: 30 minutes

Cooling Time: 20 minutes

Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup water
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
2. Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Combine the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the water, vegetable oil, apple cider vinegar, vanilla extract, and coffee.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined and no lumps remain.
5. Transfer the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
6. Bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Additional Notes

For a richer flavor, you can substitute half of the water with almond milk. To make a layered cake, double the recipe and bake in two separate pans. Top with your favorite vegan frosting or a dusting of powdered sugar.
