1 3/4 cups unsifted all-purpose flour
2 cups + 2 TBSP sugar
3/4 cup baking cocoa
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
2 eggs
5/8 cup apple sauce
2 tsp vanilla
1 7/8 cup boiling water

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Grease sheet cake pan and then use a little bit of the dry ingredient mix to "flour" it.
Add the remaining ingredients except for the boiling water.
Beat for 2 minutes at medium speed with an electric mixer.
Carefully stir in the boiling water.

Ice cake with the white frosting.
Using the blue frosting, draw a Star of David and stripes on the cake to recreated the flag.
