2 c. flour
1 1/4 c. sugar
1/2 c. cocoa
1 tbsp. baking soda
2/3 c. oil
1 c. buttermilk
1 c. strong coffee (instant coffee may be used)

Sift together flour, sugar, cocoa and baking soda. Add the oil and buttermilk. Stir until well blended. Bring the coffee to a boil and stir it gently into the batter. Mixture will be soupy.

Bake in a greased and floured 9 by 13 inch pan at 350°F for 35 to 40 minutes. Decorate with Minute Fudge Frosting (next recipe).
