3 cups flour
2/3 cup unsweetened, cocoa
2 tsp baking soda
2 cups sugar
1 tsp salt 
2 cups cold water
1/2 cup plus 2 Tbs corn oil 
1 Tbs vanilla
2 Tbs white vinegar 
or lemon juice

Mix the flour, cocoa, 
baking soda and salt together
and then sift the mixture. 
In a separate bowl mix the 
water, corn oil, vanilla
and vinegar or lemon juice. 
Then whisk the wet and dry 
mixtures together. 
Pour through a strainer 
into a clean bowl, 
breaking up and pressing 
through any lumps. 
Mix again and the pour the 
mixture into a greased 
9 x 13 x 2-inch pan. 
Tap the edge of the pan 
against
the counter or, 
for more fun but 
comparable results,
drop the entire pan 
from a height of
about 6-inches onto 
the counter top 
or the floor a
few times to pop and 
dislodge any air bubbles.
Bake at 350 degrees 
for 25 to 30 minutes.
Trust this recipe.
The omission of 
eggs or butter 
is not an oversight. 
And you must pop the 
air bubbles as directed.
