Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a cake pan.
  • In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, coconut milk, vinegar, and sugar until fully combined.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently until just combined.

Baking

  • Pour the batter into your prepared cake pan and bake for 30-35 minutes.
