Method
Make it together.
- Preheat the oven to 175C / 350F and set out your cake pan (you don't need to grease it).
- In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients - the flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, and cocoa powder until well combined.
- Add the vanilla extract and vinegar to the water.
- Add the oil to the dry ingredients, followed by your water mixture.
- Mix until the batter is smooth. Make sure there's no flour at the bottom of your bowl and that it's well mixed.
- Pour the cake batter into your baking tin and bake for 35 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.
- Cool on a cooling rack while you make the icing.
- To make the icing, sift the icing sugar and cocoa powder together into a bowl. Add the vanilla extract and water. Mix until smooth.
