Vegan Chocolate Cake will make you happy fast

The digits: 5 minutes to prepare, 25 to bake. 375F. Now go. like the wind.
Buy organic, fairtrade and local if possible...and run over to the neighbors house for whatever you're missing. Good cake makes good neighbors. This is a Moosewood Restaurant recipe.
1-1/2 cups unbleached white flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar (raw or sucanet preferred)
1/2 cup vegetable oil*
1 cup cold water or brewed coffee
2 tsps pure vanilla extract
2 tbsp vinegar (Yes, vinegar)
Be creative: subsitute honey for sugar, baking poweder for soda, butter for oil...whatever
1. Sift together the dry goods right in the pan (non-greased) you'll bake in. less dishes.
2. In a bowl, add the water (or coffee), and vanilla. Slowly now, pour the liquid ingredients into the baking pan and mix the batter
3. When the batter is smooth, add the vinegar and stir quickly. There will be pale swirls (and some bubbling) in the batter where the baking soda and vinegar are reacting. Stir just until the vinegar is evenly distributed throughout the batter (the color becomes more consistent throughout). Get 'er in the oven now. Check in 20 minues. knife test. it. Add frosting. I sprinked cinnamon and sugar on some yogurt.
