Black Bottom Cake

I love this recipe because it's stuff you have in your cupboards. It is so tasty you don't need frosting or chocolate chips. But you can if you want to.

1 1/2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup unsweet cocoa
1 cup water
1/3 cup oil
1 tsp white vinegar
Chocolate Chips (optional)

combine all ingredients, mixing for 2 minutes. I add chocolate chips (usually white) so you don't need frosting. Bake in preheated oven at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes. (Baking time varies a lot. Just watch it and poke it with a knife until the knife comes out clean.)

Makes one 9 inch round layer. Can make a thin 9x13. Double recipe for full 9x13.
