 4 Tablespoons cocoa powder 1/2 block of cooking chocolate
 2 Teaspoons baking soda
 1 teaspoon salt

 2 Tablespoons white vinegar
 2 cups cold water
 Preheat oven to 180 C (350 degrees F).

 cooking spray, and lightly dust tin with flour.
 Add to mixing bowl the flour, cocoa, baking soda, salt and sugar.
