1 1/2 Cups all purpose flour                                  6 Tbsp. cooking oil (or melted shortening)

1 Cup Sugar                                                               1 Tbsp. vinegar

3 Tbsp. cocoa                                                             1 tsp. vanilla

1 tsp. soda                                                                   1 Cup cold water

1/2 tsp. salt

     Put dry ingredients into sifter.  Sift into ungreased cake pan (8" square). Make 3 holes in dry mixture.  Pour cooking oil in first hole, vinegar in second hole, vanilla in third hole.  Pour cold water over all and stir with fork until evenly blended.

Bake in 350 degree oven, for 35-40 minutes.  Frost right in pan.

I made this when my kids were young and had to make one every other day, or 2 at a time.  They loved it so much.  I didn't even have to frost it, they loved it without frosting as well.  It is very moist and chocolately.  It is so simple and easy. 

It is good, too, with a dollop of whipped cream (cool whip, etc) if left unfrosted, when serving.
