- 1 cup water
- 1 cup confectioners sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature

Method
- Prepare a medium heat fire (a 4-second fire) in a wood-fired oven or cooker, or prepare a campfire grill for cooking over indirect heat.
- Sift the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, and salt into a greased 8-inch-square cake pan.
- Make three wells in the dry ingredients.
- Pour the vinegar into one, the vanilla into another, and the oil into the third.
- Pour the water over all and stir until smooth.
- Level out the surface and cover with aluminum foil.
- Bake for 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Set aside to cool.
- To make the frosting, stir the sugar and cocoa powder together in a bowl.
- Beat in the butter and vanilla until smooth.
- Stir in just enough milk to make the frosting soft and spreadable.
- Spread over the cake and let set for 30 minutes before cutting and serving.
