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.

- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup white sugar
