chocolate orange upside down cake

I found an old cookbook of my mother's today while I was cleaning out some bookshelves. It is called LOYALTY COOK BOOK which was published by The Native Daughters of the Golden West(Santa Rosa Parlor#217) in 1940. The recipe for cake uses no eggs and contains vinegar as an ingredient for a chocolate cake! I just had to try it, but I changed a few specs and here it is. I have always loved pineapple upside down cake and this recipe was for chocolate pineapple upside down cake which sounded a little unusual...I decided that orange would be better. I was also pleasantly surprised at how moist the cake was. (I am always nervous when I change a lot of things when baking so I made this 4 times with consistant results...whew!)
