Make three wells in the dry ingredients: one for the oil, one for the vinegar, and one for the vanilla.

Pour the oil, vinegar, and vanilla into the wells.

Add the coffee or water to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Allow the cake to cool in the pan before frosting.

For frosting, mix powdered sugar, softened butter, cocoa powder, honey, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.
