1 1/4 cups flour
1 cup sugar

1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup warm water
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp distilled apple cider vinegar (optional) white vinegar is OK

Mix all ingredients in order. Whisk until no lumps. Mixture will be watery. Pour into a prepared baking pan, oil and dust with cocoa powder.
Bake for about 30 minutes or check with a toothpick, if it comes out clean, the cake is done.
Chocolate Glaze
Direction for Chocolate Glaze
In a sauce pan at medium heat add and bring to a boil sugar, margarine, milk, and cocoa.
Continually stirring mixture until it comes to a boil, than reduce heat.
When it starts to boil reduce heat and continue stirring for another 2 minutes.
Remove from heat and pour over cake. I punch holes in the cake with a bamboo stick so that chocolate glaze can seep into cake.Topping will cool fast so select a topping of walnuts or almonds if desire and decorate your cake.
