Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together 1.5 cups flour, 1 cup sugar, 0.5 cup cocoa, 1 tsp baking soda, and 0.5 tsp salt.
Step 3
Add 1 cup water and 0.5 cup oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until smooth, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30-35 minutes.
Step 5
Let cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 6
Once cool, top with chocolate sauce or jam if desired, and place the KitKat bar on top before serving.
