Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking pan.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.

Make wells in the dry mixture and add vegetable oil, vanilla, vinegar, and water or coffee, then stir until just combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes.

Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

After cooling, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with honey/maple syrup before serving.
