Whisk the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt in a mixing bowl.

Combine the dry ingredients

1

Mix the wet ingredients

Use an electric mixer on medium speed to beat the butter and brown sugar until the mixture is pale and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla.

2

Finish the batter

Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture in batches, alternating with water and beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

3

Bake

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until the cake springs back when you gently poke it and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

4

Cool and serve

Let the cake cool in the pan for an hour; carefully invert it onto a wire rack, then again onto a serving plate. Dust with confectioners’ sugar before slicing and serving.
