CHOCOLATE WACKY CAKE - eggless

3 cups flour
2 cup sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 cups water
1 cup oil
2 tbsp vinegar
2 tsp vanilla

Mix dry ingredients together. Mix wet ingredients together. Mix all together in large bowl. Pour into 2 greased 8-inch round pans [use paper circle on base of tin] or 1 (13x9-inch) pan.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 30-35 minutes. Cool in tin for 10 minutes. Invert, remove paper, face right way up, and cool on rack. Cake is fragile when hot - more robust as it cools.

Variations:
* add 2-4 tsp coffee powder to water
* use milk for part of the water
* use flavoured extracts for vanilla eg orange [jaffa], peppermint
