Serve this cake plain as a "snack cake," top it with fresh whipped cream, or your favorite icing. It also pairs wonderfully with some fresh fruit.
Freezes well.

Thank you for this recipe! I'm baking it very, very often. Everyone loves it! Instead of the cold water, I'm using cold coffee for some extra flavour. And even if I'm using gluten-free flour from time to time, the recipe is awesome.

I never would've thought to use white vinegar in a cake, but it makes so much sense as a leavening agent! Can't wait to try this, thanks for the recipe!
Such a simple and wonderfully comforting recipe! I love those tips and tricks to help make the cake perfect.
This is such a great dairy-free alternative to classic chocolate cake! :) I will have to bake one up soon.
