2 Cups water
1/4 cup powdered sugar (optional)
Icing of choice-optional (see recipe)
Preheat oven to 350° Mix first 5 dry ingredients in a greased 9x13" baking pan. Make 3 depressions in dry ingredients - two small, one larger (see photo below). Pour vinegar in one depression, vanilla in the other and the vegetable oil in third larger depression. Pour water over all. Mix well until smooth.Bake on middle rack of oven for 45 minutes.

In a separate bowl mix together butter, eggs, and sugar until smooth and creamy. Slowly stir in box cake mix and buttermilk alternating between the two until everything is mixed in and there are no lumps in the batter. Spread batter in a greased 9x13" pan.
