• 3 cups flour
• 2 cups sugar
• 6 tablespoons baking cocoa
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 3/4 cup oil
• 2 tablespoons vinegar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 2 cups water

Sift dry ingredients. Add wet and mix with a spoon until all dry ingredients are moistened (do not over mix). Pour in an ungreased cake pan (9×12).

Bake at 350º F until cake pulls away from sides of pan, 35 – 40 minutes, or use the toothpick test.
