How to Make One Pan Eggless Chocolate Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour an 8-inch square baking pan.
  3. In the prepared pan, whisk together 1 ½ cups spelt flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon sea salt.
  4. Stir in ½ cup vegetable oil, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually pour in ½ cup water, mixing gently with a fork until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let cool completely before frosting or using to make whoopie pies (see variation below).
  8. **Whoopie Pie Variation:** Double the recipe (except water; keep at ½ cup), drop ¼ cup batter per whoopie pie onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and bake for 20-22 minutes.
