1. Place the flour, sugar, salt, baking soda and cocoa powder in a large bowl. Mix until thoroughly combined. 2. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Put the vanilla, oil, vinegar and water in the well. Mix until just combined. 3. Pour into muffin tin — this should make eight to ten cupcakes. Bake for fifteen minutes. Dust with powdered sugar and serve.
