Crazy Cake

2000

Dec 20, 2000

      I have now seen this in several magazines and even the newspaper - it is old, old old! I raised my kids with this one. Peg Bracken comes to mind. In fact, one version doesn't even have you stirring it. In fact, I stirred with a fork. Coarse in texture. Kids love it. What other recommendation is there?
      In fact, I could make this and have it cooking while the hamburgers were frying in the pan. 20 minute dinners a specialty of my house!

      In a 9" round or square pan mix (sift together:

      1 1/2 Cups flour
      1 Cup sugar
      3 heaping tablespoons cocoa
      1 teaspoon salt
      1 teaspoon baking soda
      6 Tablespoons canola oil
      1 tablespoon vinegar
      1 teaspoon vanilla
      1 Cup water, warmed

      Sift dry ingredients, all together, into the baking pan. Make three holes with a spoon, put the oil in one, the vinegar in the second and vanilla in the third. Pour water over the top. Stir with a fork.

      Bake at 350 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean.

      Serve warm by itself or with vanilla ice cream.
