Ingredients

2 ⅔ cups flour

2 cups sugar

2 tsp baking soda

2/3 cup cocoa

1 dash salt

2 tbsp vanilla

2 tbsp vinegar

2/3 cup oil, vegetable, canola or corn

2 cup water

Preparation

Mix dry ingredients together. Make 3 holes in the mixture.

Add vanilla in one hole, add vinegar in the second hole, and add oil in the third. Pour water over all and mix for 2 minutes with a mixer.

Pour mixture into a greased 10x13-inch baking dish or 2 round 9-inch pans.

Bake in a 350-degree oven for approximately 30 minutes or when a toothpick comes out slightly crumbly.

Stack the layers and frost with a favorite frosting of choice (peanut butter, buttercream, chocolate, etc.). Serve.

Alternatively, you can spread raspberry pie filling between the layers and top with a dusting of confectionary sugar or vanilla frosting.
