Crazy Cake Recipe
My favorite cake (“minimal cake infrastructure”), regularly cooked after school when a teenager. Very delicious and very simple to make. Since this recipe always comes out well it is also great for experimenting by adding random other ingredients.
Heat oven 350 degrees.
Combine all dry ingredients directly in an ungreased 9 x 13in pan:
- 3 cups flour
- 2 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup baking cocoa (you can play with this amount depending on how strong you like your chocolate, approximately from 1/3 cp to 2/3 cup, or even 0)
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
After mixing the dry stuff in the pan, make three depressions and add each liquid ingredient into is own spot:
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons vinegar
Next pour:
- 2 cups cold water
over everything in the pan. Mixing everything up with a fork (blend it up, but don’t beat or over mix).
Put pan in the oven and bake for approximately 34 - 40 minutes until pick comes out clean.
I generally like to serve it up right away just plain with some milk. But you can treat it just like any other cake (e.g. cool and frost it, etc).
