Easy Black Forest Cake

This recipe is adapted from the Wacky Cake recipe found in Joanne Fluke's "Apple Turnover Murder".  She has such fun recipes! She used raspberry vinegar.  I only had white wine vinegar, and surprisingly, it tasted just fine.  I also added a topping of cherry pie filling to make this into a Black Forest Cake.  It's a super simple recipe that looks decadent and is moist and chocolaty without being overly sweet. 

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 3 heaping tablespoons cocoa powder
• 6 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon vinegar
• 1 cup cold water
• 1 can no-sugar-added cherry pie filling

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Spritz a baking pan with non-stick buttery spray.
• Combine all the dry ingredients in a bowl, mixing thoroughly.
• Add in the wet ingredients and blend until thoroughly incorporated.
• Pour into baking pan and bake for 30 minutes.
• Let cool slightly.
• Top with cherry pie filling and serve.
