Wacky Cake

From Ethel Abelson

 

 

Here's a recipes from WWII. It sounds weird but it was moist, tasty and so easy to make. It's mixed right in the baking pan so you don't need a mixing bowl!! Can be served with ice cream and/or whipped cream.



1 and 1/2 cups all purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup natural cocoa powder
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
5 Tablespoon vegetable oil
1 Tablespoon distilled white vinegar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup water
Confectioner's sugar

1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees. Coat 8-inch-square baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.

2. Whisk flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda and salt together in pan. With a spoon make 1 large and 2 small craters in the dry ingredients. Add oil to large crater and vinegar and vanilla separately to the
remaining small craters. Pour water into pan and mix until just a few streaks of flour remain. Don't over-mix. Put immediately in the oven.

3. Bake until toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, about 30 minutes. Cool in the pan, then dust with confectioners sugar. If tightly wrapped, cake will keep for 3 days at room temperature.

Serves 6 to 8
