The Best Chocolate Cake Recipe - Cooking Index
2 1/4 cups | 140g / 4.9oz | Unbleached white flour |
1 1/2 cups | 355ml | Warm water |
1 1/2 cups | 297g / 10oz | Sugar |
1/2 cup | 118ml | Vegetable oil |
1/2 cup | 55g / 1.9oz | Cocoa |
1 1/2 teaspoons | 7.5ml | Vanilla extract |
1 1/2 teaspoons | 7.5ml | Baking soda |
1 1/2 teaspoons | 7.5ml | White vinegar |
3/4 teaspoon | 3.8ml | Salt |
Preheat the oven to 350F. Wait 10 minutes before starting to make the cake.
Meanwhile, spray and flour 2 8-inch layer pans.
Thoroughly combine flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
Pour in the water, oil, vanilla, and vinegar and stir until well combined. Pour into prepared pans.
Bake 30 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack 10 minutes, then remove the cakes from the pans and cool completely.
Frost with your favorite chocolate frosting. (Use vegan margarine and a bit of soy milk instead of butter and milk.)
