Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 13x9x2 inch baking pan or 2 - 9 inch round cake pans.
In a mixing bowl, combine the first 5 dry ingredients. Add the water, oil, vanilla, and vinegar. Mix well; the batter will be thin. Pour into the prepared pans.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Cool completely.
Once the cake has cooled, make the frosting.
Frosting:
In a mixing bowl, mix the cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar together until creamy. Add the cocoa, salt, vanilla, and milk; mix until creamy.
Frost the cooled cake.
Serve.

Tip: For the frosting, the butter can be melted and mixed with wet ingredients in a bowl prior to adding it to the mixer. It turns out fantastic.
