Ingredients: 1 1/2
Cups
Flour 1/3
Cup
Unsweetened Cocoa Powder 1
Teaspoon
Baking Soda 1/2
Teaspoon
Salt 1
Cup
Sugar 1/2
Cup
Vegetable Oil 1
Cup
Old Water,
or brewed coffee
2
Teaspoons
Vanilla Extract,
(pure)
2
Tablespoons
Vinegar
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375.
Sift together flour, cocoa, baking soda, salt, and sugar into an
ungreased 8-inch square or 9-inch round cake pan. In a 2-cup measuring
cup, measure and mix together the oil, water or coffee, and vanilla. Pour
the liquid ingredients into the baking pan and mix the batter with a fork
or small whisk. When the batter is smooth, add the vinegar and stir in
quickly. There will be pale swirls in the batter where the vinegar is
reacting with the baking soda. Stir just until the vinegar is evenly
distributed throughout the batter. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes.

To top the cake, I pureed a bag of (thawed) frozen raspberries and added a
few drops of lemon juice, then strained through a seive. I was going to
sprinkle some powdered sugar on top, but I realized I didn't have any
*yikes*, so i just mixed in a little regular sugar. I spooned a little of
this on top of each piece of cake (as well as underneath it), and then
sprinkled fresh raspberries on top. It was wonderful. The color of the
pureed raspberries alone is enough to make me love this dessert. The
cake was great too-- wonderfully dark and moist. A perfect contrast to
the tartness of the berries.
