Egg Free Chocolate Cake

No: eggs, dairy, corn, soy

Preheat oven to 350 F

Melt together in microwave-proof bowl 60-90 seconds:
1/4 cup canola oil
2 oz baking chocolate, broken in bits with a fork (check for allergens)

Stir, and blend together with:
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1 tsp vanilla extract (check for allergens)
1 tsp vinegar

Mix in a separate bowl:
1-1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp sea salt

Add dry ingredients to wet while stirring. Blend until smooth but don't over-beat. Small lumps are ok.

Prepare a rectangular pan (7.5 x 12 or 2 qt pyrex) with nonstick spray (check for allergens). Pour batter into the pan and spread to edges. It will be a thin layer but this cake puffs up while baking. Bake 25-30 min until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
