Cake Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, olive oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the water. Mix until smooth and well combined.

  5. 5

    Bake the Cake

    Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  6. 6

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
