Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a round or square cake pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. If you're making a chocolate version, add the cocoa powder now.

Pour the batter into your prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
