MIX IN THE PAN CHOCOLATE CAKE 
This recipe was developed after WWII when budgets were tight but it now is a great cake for those watching their intake of fats since it has no eggs or milk. It is best the second day.

1 1/2 c. all purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 c. granulated sugar
1/4 c. unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. cider vinegar
1 tbsp. vanilla
1/3 c. salad oil
1 c. water
Powdered sugar

Grease and flour an 8 inch square pan. Combine flour, baking soda, sugar, cocoa and salt. Sift together into the pan. Shake to level, then with spoon make three holes in the flour mixture.

Pour vinegar into 1 hole, vanilla into another and oil into the third. Pour the water over all and stir mixture well with a fork being sure to reach all corners of the pan. (Mixing will take about 1 1/2 minutes and batter will be almost smooth. Small lumps will disappear in baking).

Bake at 350 degrees about 30 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Dust with powdered sugar when cool.

I use Williams Sonoma's Pernigotti or Dark Jersey cocoa powder for a rich chocolate flavor!

This is the exact cake I found in a church recipe book back in the late 1960's. It is soooo moist and delicious. I made it often for many years. Easy, fast and just the best cake. Thank you for sharing.
