Kay (Pennsylvania) says:
We got this recipe many years ago from a friend. My daughter is allergic to eggs. This is a great, moist cake. We actually put the cocoa and baking soda in last then pour the vinegar on top for a chocolate volcano eruption. The children loved it! Also, we no longer sift it as flour is now pre-sifted.

I have been making this cake for 50 years; since I was a child. It is still a family favorite for celebrations or a quick dessert. My siblings make it for their children and grandchildren to enjoy. Making it right now for a coffee break for folks working on our house.
