  1. Preheat the oven to 175C / 350F and set out your cake pan (you don't need to grease it).

  3. Add the vanilla extract and vinegar to the water.
  4. Add the oil to the dry ingredients, followed by your water mixture.
  5. Mix until the batter is smooth. Make sure there's no flour at the bottom of your bowl and that it's well mixed.
  6. Pour the cake batter into your baking tin and bake for 35 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.
  7. Cool on a cooling rack while you make the icing.
  8. To make the icing, sift the icing sugar and cocoa powder together into a bowl. Add the vanilla extract and water. Mix until smooth.
