– all-purpose flour – granulated sugar – baking soda – unsweetened cocoa powder – salt – vegetable oil – vanilla extract – plain vinegar or apple cider vinegar, lemon juice
– unsalted butter – unsweetened cocoa powder – warm milk - You can replace it with plant-based milk, like oats, coconut, almonds, etc. – vanilla extract – powdered sugar
Preheat oven to 350F/180C. Place the dry ingredients into an ungreased 9×13-inch cake pan and blend them with a fork.
Make three wells in the dry ingredients, using the bottom of a measuring cup, and add oil, vinegar, and vanilla, pouring a third of each into each of the three wells for even distribution.
OR: Grab a glass measuring cup and mix all wet ingredients together, then pour the liquid over the dry ingredients. Use a fork to blend thoroughly. Do not overmix.
Bake the pan for 35-40 minutes or until a cake tester comes clean. Remove the pan from the oven and place it on a cooling rack to cool completely, while making the chocolate icing.
In a large bowl, melt the butter. Add the unsweetened cocoa powder and salt. Combine them.
Warm the milk and add it to the mixture together with the vanilla extract. For the best results make sure you read the whole recipe!
