• Grease a 8 or 9 inch round cake pan & drizzle some flour on it. or Line with a parchment paper. Set aside.
• Mix 1 ½ cups flour, ¼ cup cocoa powder, ½ tsp salt and 1 tsp baking soda.
• Sieve the flour mix at least twice to aerate the flour. This makes the cake light.
• If using wheat flour then sieve four times.
• Add 1 cup sugar and mix it well. I use fine sugar.
• If you are using coarse one then you can also dissolve it in 1 cup water (called for the recipe) and pour it in the next step.
• Make a well (space) in the center. Pour 1 cup water, 1/3 cup oil or melted butter, 1 tbsp vanilla extract and 1 tbsp vinegar.
• Gently begin to mix well from the liquid ingredients in the center.
• Using a whisk or spatula, mix just until the flour is combined well with the wet ingredients. Do not over mix.
• The batter will be runny. Pour it to the cake pan.
• Knock it a few times against the kitchen counter to release air bubbles.
• Bake for 30 to 35 mins. Check after 27 mins. The bake time may vary depending on your pan size and oven. So Just bake it until a skewer or a tester inserted comes out clean.
• To check if it is completely baked, insert a skewer in the center of the cake and check. It must come out clean.
• Keep the cake pan on a wire rack and allow it to cool down for 8 to 10 mins in the pan.
