I have been reading some food blogs. Right now I’m working my way through thepioneerwoman.com She has some amazing recipes, and none are real difficult (from what I can tell). I thought I would throw up some of my favorite recipes occassionally. Here is my favorite cake recipe of all time. It’s a chocolate cake that always turns out, is moist from start to end (as long as it stays covered), and is super easy to make. Some people may call it a wacky cake. In our family, it’s Crazy Square Chocolate Cake. The crazy part is there is no dairy or eggs in it. From what I have read online, it came about when eggs were rationed, and people had to get creative with baking/cooking. Enough rambling, here it is. I’m not fancy like The Pioneer Woman with photos, and I’m not sorry about it!
Crazy Square Chocolate Cake
3 c. flour
2 c. sugar
2 t. baking soda
2 t. salt
1/2 c. cocoa
1 c. oil
2 T. vinegar
2 t. vanilla
2 c. cold water
Combine all ingredients and mix. Bake for 30-35 minutes at 350° F.
That is all there is to it. As a note, this will NOT bake in a 9×13 pan. You can make them into cupcakes, use rounds, or use an 11×17 pan. Just not a 9×13. If you give it a try, let me know how it turnned out for you.
