Someone sent this recipe to me when I was low on ingredients. It's not the most moist cake but if you're craving chocolate and low on things I find this cake hits the spot. I was told it's called a Depression Cake because it was common during the depression when supplies like milk and eggs weren't as plentiful.
1 2/3 of flour
1 cup of white or brown sugar
1/4 cup of cocoa powder
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1 cup of water
1/3 cup of butter of oil
Optional:
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla
1 teaspoon of vinegar
Mix ingredients together and pour into a cake pan. Bake at 350*F for 30-35 minutes. It will almost come out like a chocolate loaf.
