Crazy Cake

A new friend was looking for an eggless cake to celebrate her birthday. My family has a very old recipe that was typically used, not for food sensitivities, but for lack of eggs! Maybe depression era recipes are an untapped resource for living without! Who would have thought? My food sensitive subs are in parenthesis.

3 c flour (3 c gf-flour+2 tbs baking powder)
2c sugar (2 c agave nectar)
2tsp soda
1/2 c cocoa
1tsp salt
1tsp vanilla
2 tsp vinegar (balsamic tastes really good with chocolate, but you can use any)
3/4 c cooking oil
2 c water

Sift first 5 ingredients directly into 9X13 inch pan. Make 3 holes in dry ingredients, put vanilla into 1 hole, vinegar in another, cooking oil in the third. Pour cold water over entire mixture. Blend with fork. Do not beat. Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes in the pan you mixed it in.
