Recipe for Post # 28 Jennifer’s Grandmother’s Chocolate Vinegar Cake

• 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
• 1/2 cup cocoa
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 Tbls white vinegar
• 6 Tbls vegetable oil
• 1 cup cold water
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips, any variety

Preheat oven to 375.  Prepare 8x8x2 glass baking dish.  In a large bowl, mix flour, cocoa, baking soda, sugar, and salt until well blended.  In a small bowl, whisk together water, vanilla, oil, and vinegar until combined.  Make a well in dry ingredients and pour wet into the well.  Thoroughly combine until no lumps are present.  Fold in chocolate chips.  Pour into prepared dish and bake for 35-40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.  Under cooking by a couple of minutes makes the cake fudgier.   Cool, and top the cake with favorite topping.  These could be chocolate frosting, a dusting of powdered sugar, whipped cream, berry puree, whatever you have on hand.
