Wacky Cake

Why not bake a cake?

News yesterday, our Governor, has decide to keep

the state shut down for another month.

So, it has been a learning curve for me.

Remember, when we had to do our grocery shopping for a full week?

there was no running to the store in between.

Seems like those times have come once again

needing something sweet and no ingredients for

a cake, what do you do?

Well, you bake a wacky cake, also known as depression cake

where shortages were normal. 

Just what I did 

No eggs! No butter, no good stuff well then this is just what you need.

this cake is so moist.

My friend Martha, just gave me

the idea of adding a glaze as I am also out of butter.

Wacky cake

1 1/2 cups sifted flour

 1 cup sugar

3-4 Tbs unsweetened  cocoa

1 tps baking soda

1/2 tps salt

6 Tbs corn oil

1 Tbs vinegar

1 tps vanilla

1 cup cold water

Sift all dry ingredients into a ungreased 10x10x2 inch pan

Mix with a fork

Make three holes

put oil in one, put vinegar in the next and vanilla in the last one.  The pour one cup of water over all and mix with a fork.

Do not beat,this takes a few minutes

Bake 350 25-30 min

leave in the pan.

You could put a glaze,which is what I will do

or powered sugar, 

If you have the ingredients you could make a butter cream frosting.

I do not happen to have any butter right now.
