Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk them until they are well combined.
- Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the dairy-free milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and white vinegar. The vinegar helps to create a fluffy texture in the absence of eggs.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix! If you’re adding dairy-free chocolate chips, gently fold them in at this stage.
- Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into your prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, frost with your favorite dairy-free frosting or enjoy it plain with a dusting of powdered sugar!
