How to Make Mrs Scott's Chocolate Vinegar Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Add the oil, vinegar, vanilla extract, and boiling water to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  4. Pour batter into an ungreased 13x9 inch Pyrex baking dish. (Lightly grease and dust with cocoa powder if you plan to remove the cake from the pan after baking.)
  5. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting. (This may take a couple of hours.)
  7. Frost and enjoy!
