Tried and True Vegan Chocolate Cake Recipe

This one is a staple in the Moore and now Hufford families. It is good plain or iced. It isn't super rich -- kind of a light, refreshing cake.

3 c flour
2 c sugar
2 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp salt
2 tbs coco (I do more like 3-4 to punch it up)
2 c water
3/4 c melted butter (richer, but not vegan) or veg oil
2 tbs vinegar
2 tsp vanilla
Sift and mix dry ingredients in a bowl. Make a divot and then add in the wet ingredients and mix with a fork. Pour into 9x13" cake pan (or similar volume) that has been sprayed with Pam or butter-greased. Bake at 350 for 50 mins. or so until toothpick poked in comes clean. Cool before icing.
