                 3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa
                 1 cup sugar
                 1 tsp baking soda
                 1 tsp instant coffee powder

                 5 tbsp vegetable oil
                 1 cup water, room temperature
         Instructions
    1.            Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. Sieve the flour, baking soda,
          cocoa powder and coffee powder in a shallow mixing bowl if making cupcakes, or directly into a greased
          8" square/9 inch round baking pan if making a cake. Add sugar and salt and whisk to combine everything
          well.
    2.            Make 3 depressions in the dry ingredients - two small, one larger. Pour vinegar in one depression,
          vanilla in the other and vegetable oil in larger depression.
    3.            Pour water over all, mix well just until combined and no more flour pockets are visible.  The batter
          may have a few lumps and that is okay, do not over mix.
    4.            Fill the liners to 2/3rd . Bake on the middle rack for 18 minutes (cupcakes) & 35 minutes (cake) or
          until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack, let it cool completely before frosting.
          {Note: Oven baking times may vary,  check your cake to avoid over baking it, but check no sooner than 30
          minutes. If you open the oven door earlier, the temperature fluctuation may cause the cake to collapse on
          cooling }
