Depression Chocolate Cake

I don't know how often this old recipe gets used anymore, but it is the absolute best recipe for the moistest dark chocolate scratch cake I have ever found!   It uses no eggs or baking powder, but rather baking soda and vinegar as the leavening agents.  It's easy to remember and easy to put together: stick all the ingredients in a bowl and mix! Depression Chocolate Cake 3 cups flour 2 cups sugar 2 teaspoons baking soda 2 teaspoons salt 2/3 cup cocoa 2/3 cup oil 2 cups cold coffee 2 teaspoons vanilla 2 teaspoons vinegar Mix all ingredients together and pour into greased cake pan(s).  Bake @ 350 degrees for 25-35 minutes, depending on your oven. Cool and frost with your favorite frosting! Enjoy!
