1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1 cup water
1/2 cup vegetable oil (Wesson)

2 beaten eggs
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 cup buttermilk (or 1/2 cup milk plus 1 tsp. vinegar)
1 tsp. vanilla

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Mix flour, sugar and salt in large bowl. Set aside. In a saucepan add butter, water, oil and cocoa. Bring to a boil, then pour over flour mixture above.

In another bowl add beaten eggs, baking soda, buttermilk and vanilla. Add this to the two mixed above. This will take a lot of mixing, but mix thoroughly.
