How to Make It

1. Preheat & Prepare

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

2. Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder (if using), baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.

3. Combine the Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, mix milk, oil (or butter), vanilla extract, and vinegar until smooth and creamy.

4. Bring It Together

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula until just combined — avoid overmixing for a tender crumb.

5. Bake

Pour the batter into your prepared pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean (a few moist crumbs are okay).

6. Cool & Serve

Let the cake cool slightly before slicing.
Dust with powdered sugar, top with whipped cream, or drizzle with chocolate ganache. Serve warm or at room temperature with coffee, tea, or milk.
