This chocolate snack cake is a quick and easy dessert that requires minimal ingredients and effort, perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures the cake bakes evenly from the start.
In an ungreased 8 x 8 inch baking pan, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda. Mix well.
Mixing directly in the pan saves on cleanup time.
Make three wells in the dry mixture. Pour the vegetable oil into one, the vanilla into another, and the vinegar into the last.
Creating wells helps distribute the wet ingredients evenly.
Pour the cold water over the entire mixture and stir with a fork until the batter is smooth and well combined.
Stir gently to avoid overmixing, which can make the cake dense.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the center springs back when lightly touched.
Avoid opening the oven door frequently to maintain a consistent baking temperature.
Let the cake cool completely before slicing and serving.
Cooling allows the cake to set and makes slicing easier.
