• Prep Time: 15 minutes
• Cook Time: 35 minutes
• Total Time: 50 minutes
• Servings: 8
• Skill Level: Easy

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 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
• Powdered sugar, for dusting
• Fresh raspberries, for garnish
• Chocolate shavings, optional, for garnish

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together the water, vegetable oil, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Once cooled, dust the cake with powdered sugar, garnish with fresh raspberries, and sprinkle with chocolate shavings if desired.

• For an even more indulgent experience: Serve with a scoop of vegan ice cream or a dollop of coconut whipped cream.
• Flavor variations: Add a teaspoon of instant coffee granules to enhance the chocolate flavor or stir in some vegan chocolate chips to the batter.
• Storage: Keep the cake covered at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
• Substitutions: Use almond flour for a gluten-free option or coconut sugar instead of granulated sugar for a deeper flavor.

• Beverages: Enjoy this cake with a cup of hot espresso, herbal tea, or a glass of almond milk.
• Complementary sides: Fresh fruit salad or a side of toasted nuts add a delightful contrast to the cake’s rich flavor.
