Marilyn's Black Cake

1 1/4 c. sugar
3 c. flour
6 T. cocoa
2 t. soda
1 t. salt
2/3 c. oil
2 T. vinegar
2 c. water

Sift together dry ingredients', add oil, vinegar, water & mix well.  Bake in a greased bunt pant at 350 for 30-40 minutes. 

Note: can also be used in a regular pan or for cupcakes.  Mom used to cut the sugar when we were kids & it's still good.

  1. Important note: The vinegar needs to be apple cider vinegar. I don't know what would happen if you used something else!

  2. Marilyn's addendum regarding a replacement for wheat flour:

    Hi Sara,

    This from the Good food Store. It worked very nicely for the chocolate cake and also for cornbread. I made that ceramic flour container on the counter full of it and Its the only flour I used for awhile. Its from an article "Cooking with Gluten-Free Flours"

    2 Cups rice flour
    2/3 Cup potato flour
    1/2 Cup tapioca flour

    bon appetite!

  3. We've used regular white vinegar....though the apple cider vinegar works really well too.
