Hobo Chocolate Cake

1 cup sugar
1 cup water
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons cocoa powder

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, water, vegetable oil, vinegar, and vanilla extract. Mix until the sugar is dissolved.

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.

Pour the batter into a greased 9×9 inch baking dish.

Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
