The easiest chocolate cake ever

This is the easiest, simplest, moist, delicious, no fuss, one bowl, crowd pleasing chocolate cake yet. When I first came across this recipe, my thoughts were what type of crazy cake is this? It does not go by the traditional cake baking method and ingredients (eggs, margarine etc) I am used to, but the reviews were great.

I  decided to try it out and oh! I was pleased. Since then it has become my go-to, life hack chocolate cake. It’s easier to put together and its fuss free. Ditch the dry chocolate cake from the supermarkets and cake stores and try this. I bet you will fall in love with every bite and oh! it is vegan friendly too.

Recipe Notes

Cake tends to stick to bottom of pan thus it's butter served from pan.
Vinegar in the recipe is slightly noticed, don't like the smell of vinegar? Substitute with freshly squeezed lemon juice.
