Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and prepare a 9-inch (23 cm) cake pan by greasing it with cooking spray.

Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl. Stir in the sugar until combined.
-
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, water, white vinegar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, whisking until just combined. Do not overmix.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.
-
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
-
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
-
Use a knife to loosen the edges of the cake, then carefully invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Once cooled, you can frost the cake with your favorite frosting or serve it as is.
