1 1/2 cups Flour; Unbleached -- Sifted
1 cup Sugar

Sift the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, and salt together into a mixing

into 1 well and melted butter into the third. Pour water over all. Beat with a
wooden spoon until well blended. Pour batter into a greased 9" square
baking pan. Bake in a preheated 350~ oven for 25 minutes or until cake tests

coffee, and vanilla in a mixing bowl. Beat, with an electric mixer set at
medium speed, until smooth.
NOTE; This recipe came from a very old church cookbook that the woman found and
is typical of many of the recipes of the 1800's. The vinegar was used to keep
the cake from spoiling. Try this and I think that you will like it.
