How to Make The Easiest Healthiest Chocolate Cake Ever
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round pan or 8-inch square pan.
- In the prepared pan, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 ½ cups sugar, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, ¾ teaspoon baking soda, and ¾ teaspoon salt.
- Add 1 cup water, ½ cup vegetable oil, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, scraping the sides and bottom of the pan to ensure everything is well incorporated.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 35 minutes.
- Run a knife or spatula around the edges of the pan to loosen the cake.
- Invert the cake onto a wire rack or serving plate.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting.
- While the cake cools, prepare the icing: In a medium bowl, whisk together ½ cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, and 2-4 tablespoons milk (any kind) until smooth and creamy. Add more milk if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Drizzle or spread the icing over the cooled cake.
