1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup white sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup milk
Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat; stir in cocoa, baking soda and vanilla until smooth.
Return to heat, and stir in sugar and vegetable oil until well blended. Stir in milk, mixing thoroughly.
Remove from heat; stir in milk and vanilla. Pour mixture into a 12x18 inch pan. Cover tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
To serve, place a layer of meringue over meringue on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until meringue is golden brown. Cool slightly with ice.
