Preheat oven to 180 degree C.

Prepare a 23 cm bundt cake pan or 9x2 inch pan by greasing it with oil and dusting it with flour and coat it on all sides.

Tap off the excess and set aside.

In a sifter, take flour, cocoa, salt, baking soda and sieve well. Set aside.

In a bowl, take butter, sugar and vanilla. Cream it well using a beater till it is fluffy.

Add in one egg at a time and cream well.

Now add in ¼th of the cake batter and ⅓rd of the water alternatively, ending with flour mix. Fold this whole thing gently.

Now pour this in the prepared pan and bake for 45 to 55 mins. Mine got done in 40 mins.

Remove the cake from oven, let it cool down for 15 mins. Invert it to a plate, slice and serve.
