Week From Hell Chocolate Cake

1 and 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup vegetable oil
1 and 1/4 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 cup warm water
3/4 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup cocoa

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and prepare a 9x13 pan with butter and coat with a small amount of flour. (If you have a springform pan, use that.) Shake off excess.
Sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine oil, sugar and eggs. Add water and vanilla extract.
Slowly add flour mixture, alternating with cocoa. Batter will be slightly lumpy.
Pour batter into the prepared pans and bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes. Insert a toothpick in the center of the cake to test. Allow to cool and frost as desired (I didn't bother, but maybe next time).
