Amazing Solan Family Chocolate Cake (Aka 3-Hole Cake) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    3 cups flour
    2 cups sugar
    2 teaspoons baking soda
    1 teaspoon salt
    6 tablespoons baking cocoa
    3/4 cup oil
    2 cups cold water
    2 tablespoons white vinegar
    1 tablespoon vanilla
    Mocha Glaze
    1/2 cup powdered sugar (optional)
    2 tablespoons baking cocoa (optional)
    1/2 teaspoon decaf instant coffee (optional)
    1 - 1 1/2 tablespoon milk, of choice (works with regular, soy or rice or whatever) (optional)
    1/4 teaspoon almond extract (I usually use almond, but have tried & like coconut, orig. glaze recipe calls for peppermint) (optional)
Preparation
    Instructions for Cake:
    Mix dry ingredients together in large bowl.
    Mix wet ingredients together in separate bowl.
    Add wet to dry a little at a time, stirring as you add.
    Pour batter into WELL-GREASED bundt cake pan (well-greased is key--this is a sticky cake; I use Pam with great results), bake at 350 for 35-40 minute.
    Serving suggestions: with fresh whipped cream& strawberries, or drizzle with warm caramel or Kahlua, or glaze with mocha glaze (or some combo thereof!).
    Instructions for Glaze:
    Mix dry ingredients together in bowl.
    Dissolve coffee in 1 tablespoon of milk; add extract.
    Whisk coffee liquid into dry ingredients; whisk until all blended and if needed, add 1/2 tablespoon more milk.
    USE GLAZE IMMEDIATELY OVER CAKE. It will harden quickly.
