3/4 cup Cocoa
1/2 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt
2 cups sugar

Mix cocoa and soda together well. Add other dry ingredients and follow directions on the tag. (tag looks like it has been glued to the front...ribbon I guess you just tie and place on bag. ( I would be tempted t o punch 2 holes in the folded top edge and lace the ribbon through and tie to keep bag closed....just my 2 cents!)

GIFT TAG DIRECTIONS:

Add 1/2 c. boiling water to dry ingredients. Stir in 2/3 cup oil, 2 eggs and 1 tsp. vanilla. Pour in lightly greased 9 x 13 inch pan and bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes. ENJOY!
