Elaboració
Pas a pas
- 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Lightly grease and flour a 9x13 inch (23x33 cm) baking pan.
Uns 2 min
Nota de cuina: Greasing and flouring the pan prevents the cake from sticking and ensures easy removal.
- 2
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Uns 3 min
Nota de cuina: Sifting removes lumps and aerates the dry ingredients, leading to a lighter cake texture.
- 3
Whisk the dry ingredients until they are thoroughly combined.
Uns 1 min
- 4
Add the cold water, vegetable oil, white vinegar, and vanilla extract to the bowl with the dry ingredients.
Uns 1 min
Nota de cuina: The reaction between the vinegar (acid) and baking soda (base) helps the cake rise without eggs.
- 5
Mix with a whisk or spatula until the batter is smooth and just combined; be careful not to overmix.
Uns 1 min
Nota de cuina: A few small lumps are okay. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, making the cake tough.
- 6
If using, gently fold in the chopped maraschino cherries.
Uns 1 min
- 7
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and use a spatula to spread it into an even layer.
Uns 1 min
Nota de cuina: An even layer of batter ensures the cake bakes uniformly.
- 8
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer or toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Uns 30 min
Nota de cuina: Oven temperatures can vary, so start checking for doneness at the 25-minute mark.
- 9
Place the pan on a wire rack and let the cake cool completely before slicing and serving.
Uns 30 min
Nota de cuina: Allowing the cake to cool fully prevents it from crumbling when you cut it.
