Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the 1.5 cups flour, 1 cup sugar, 0.5 cup cocoa, 1 tsp cinnamon, and 1 tsp baking soda.
Step 3
Add 1 cup water and 1/3 cup vegetable oil (if you have it) to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined—batter will be thin.
Step 4
Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25-30 minutes.
Step 5
Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
