My mom got this recipe from a church cookbook when I was a kid. I used to make it for bake sales at school, and teachers would compete to buy the entire cake at once! I recently learned that it is quite similar to a Depression-era recipe for "wacky cake."
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup baking cocoa
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon white vinegar
Preheat oven to 375. In an 8x8 baking pan, mix dry ingredients. Make a well in center and add wet ingredients; stir to combine. Bake for 25 minutes.
Variation: For a 9x13 pan, double the recipe and bake at 350 for 40 minutes.
