Personal Notes:
Granny didn't use a mixer. She made three holes in flour mix and put water in one, vinegar in the second and oil in the third and mixed with a fork. She didn't frost this cake and it's good unfrosted or with ice cream or you could frost it with a vanilla or chocolate buttercream.

Easy and good to make if you have no eggs.
