Ingredients

2 cups water
1-1/2 cups sugar
1/3 cup canola oil
1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 teaspoons cider vinegar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour

Directions

In a large bowl, beat the first six ingredients until well blended. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt; gradually beat into sugar mixture until blended.
Pour into a 13x9-in. baking pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 28-32 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely on a wire rack.
