1 1/2 cups white sugar
2 cups flour (sift after measuring)
1 tsp. salt
2 TBSP water
1 TBSP cider vinegar
2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 cup softened butter

3 eggs
1 tsp. baking soda

In a mixer add white sugar and butter--beat. Add eggs--beat. Add salt and water--beat. Add vanilla and cocoa--beat. Add buttermilk and red food coloring--beat. Slowly add flour--beat for 1 minute. Remove bowl from mixer. In a small separate bowl add baking soda and cider vinegar--stir until mixed. Pour vinegar mixture into batter--stir just until mixed. Pour batter into a greased and floured 9 x 13 cake pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes--test with a toothpick for doneness. Cool completely. Frost as desired (normal Waldorf cake is frosted with cream cheese frosting and topped with chopped walnuts).
