Ingredients
- 1½ cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking Soda
- ¾ cup cocoa powder
- 1¼ cups sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon espresso powder
- ½ cup oil

- Add to the dry mixture and mix using a whisk or spatula.
- Mix together the vinegar or lemon juice with the baking soda, and immediately add to the cake batter.
- Fold using a spatula until incorporated and pour into sprayed and lined 9 inch cake pan or Bundt cake.
- Tap the pan onto the counter a few times to release the bubbles.
- Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes, testing it with a skewer that should come out clean when it’s done.
- Cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes before flipping.
Notes
- You can divide the batter among small bundt cake pans, but the bake time should be less, around 15 minutes.
- If you want to avoid a flat cake, do not rest the batter. Make sure to preheat the oven while preparing the batter and pop it in the oven as soon as it's done.
- If you want to add frosting to your cake, make sure to let it cool down completely.
- Make sure not to overmix the batter if you don't want your cake to be sticky or gluey.
