Scale

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×9-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until everything is well combined.
Create three wells in the dry ingredients. In one well, pour in the vanilla extract; in the second, add the vinegar; and in the third, pour in the vegetable oil. Finally, pour the water over everything.
Using a whisk or a wooden spoon, mix all the ingredients together until just combined. Don’t overmix.
Pour the batter into your prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly. Tap the pan gently on the counter to release any air bubbles.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
