In a 9x9 baking pan, combine 1.5 cups of plain flour, 1 cup of sugar, 1/4 cup of cocoa, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Mix well to eliminate lumps.

Make holes in the dry mixture and pour in 1 cup of cold coffee or water, 1/3 cup of oil, 1 tablespoon of white vinegar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Whisk the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until well combined, ensuring no dry ingredients remain in the corners of the pan.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Allow the cake to cool before frosting if desired. Wipe the edges of the pan for a cleaner presentation if frosting.

The cake can be served plain, dusted with powdered sugar, or topped with any frosting of your choice.
