Awesome Chocolate Cake

This turned out very well.  And my husband (who is not wild about chocolate) and my kids gobbled it up too.

Preheat oven to 180 C (350 F).

Sift together....
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup sugar
4 tbsp cocoa powder (check label)
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp instant espresso powder (trust me!  it brings out the chocolate flavor and you will not taste it)
1/2 tsp salt

Add...
1/3 cup veggie oil
1 tsp vanilla
1 tbsp cider vinegar (I know!  Weird, right?)
1 cup water

Mix just until blended.  Pour into a 9 inch square pan that you've sprayed with Pam, or coated with a little oil.  Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes.

Let cool, and sprinkle with powdered sugar (icing sugar).
