Wacky Cake

I have been making this cake since I was married 50 years ago.  It is one of the best chocolate cakes I have eaten and very easy to make.  But what makes it “over the top” good is to frost it with my mother-in law’s One Minute Chocolate Icing.

This is supposed to be mixed together right in the cake pan, but I usually mix it in my mixer.  I would suggest, though, that after you mix in the vinegar, you get the cake in the oven immediately.

• 3 cups sifted flour
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 6 tablespoons cocoa
• 2 cups sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups cold water
• 10 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
• 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Combine first 5 ingredients in mixing bowl.  Then add rest of ingredients in order given.  Put in ungreased 9″ x 13″ pan and bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes.

Yum!!!
