- 3 cups all-purpose flour

- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Heat your oven to 350°F. Spray two 8-inch round cake pans with vegetable spray (or one 9x13 pan) and line the bottom of the cake pans with parchment paper.
Combine the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl and stir to combine.
In a separate bowl combine the vegetable oil, vinegar, and water.
Pour the water mixture into the flour mixture. Stir until combined.
