Servings: persons

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon vinegar (white, apple, or rice...)
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 cup water or strong coffee
for the frosting - 1/4 cups unsweetened cocoa powder (or 3 tbsp cocoa plus 1 tbsp expresso powder)

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray an 8 inch square baking pan. In a bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda, and stir unti all is well incorporated. Add the vanilla extract and zest (if using), oil, and water or coffee, and mix until all is well combined and there are no lumps. You can choose to start mixing by hand and then continue with an electrical cake mixer. Pour batter into the pan. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. At 30 minutes, you can check to see if a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean. Let cake cool completely before putting frosting on top. This cake is not unmolded but you can do so if you prefer.

For frosting, melt the butter in a small saucepan (or in the microwave). Add cocoa powder (and expresso powder if using) and mix until it forms a paste. In bowl of electric mixer, add the powdered sugar, cream/milk/coffee, vanilla and the paste. Mix first by hands and then continue to mix in electric mixer for about 5 minutes until the frosting is smooth and creamy. Spread on top of the cake. You can, however, choose not to use any frosting.
