Pour water over all. Beat with a wooden spoon until well blended. Pour batter into a greased 9-inch square baking pan. Bake in a preheated 350 degree F. oven for 25 minutes or until cake tests done. Cool in pan on rack. Frost with Mocha Chocolate Frosting. Cut into squares. MOCHA CHOCOLATE FROSTING: Combine confectioners' sugar, cocoa, softened butter, coffee, and vanilla in a mixing bowl. Beat, with an electric mixer set at medium speed, until smooth. NOTE; This recipe came from a very old church cookbook that the woman found and is typical of many of the recipes of the 1800's. The vinegar was used to keep the cake from spoiling. Try this and I think that you will like it.
