Stella's chocolate cake
old grandmother
made a killer chocolate cake
with cocoa powder
for Christ's sake!
cocoa powder?
she used vinegar for the baking soda
that came all the way from South Dakota
and flour and white sugar
to mix with one cup of salad oil
and vanilla for taste
hand whipped without haste
2 cups of cold water into the dry mix
then fold gently into the pan
use the spoon for discreet licks
while cooking at 350 for 30-35
then top with peanut butter icing
but not too thickly applied
totally yummy in your tummy
