Ingredients

– 1/2 cup of vegetable oil
– 1/4 cup of cocoa powder
– 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or two 9-inch round cake pans for a layered cake.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the vanilla cake mix, eggs, water, and vegetable oil. Mix on low speed for about 30 seconds, then increase the speed to high and mix for another 2 minutes, until the batter is smooth and well combined.
3. In a separate small bowl, mix the cocoa powder and vanilla extract together until well combined.
4. Gradually add the cocoa mixture to the cake batter, stirring until fully incorporated. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cake dense.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan(s) and smooth the top with a spatula.
6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
7. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Once the cake is cooled, you can frost it with your favorite chocolate frosting or add chocolate chips and sprinkles for decoration.
