2. Vegetable oil: It adds moisture to the cake and keeps it tender and crumbly. You can use canola, sunflower, or other light oil with neutral flavors instead. Melted butter and coconut oil are also best for an innovative flavor profile. 
3. Dutch dark cocoa powder adds a deep, rich, chocolaty taste and color to the cake. You can use natural cocoa powder for more intense and rich chocolaty flavors.
