Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 ½ cups flour
1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup cold water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 F.
  • Add dry ingredients to an ungreased 8-inch round or square baking pan. Whisk to combine.
  • Make 3 wells in the mixture. One larger hole and 2 smaller (see image). Pour oil, vinegar, and vanilla into the wells.
  • Pour water over all of the ingredients. Mix well with a fork, making sure to get all the dry mix that gets stuck in the corners.
  • Before baking, give the pan a couple of taps on the counter to help release any bubbles. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out mostly clean.
  • Serve plain, topped with powdered sugar, or frosted. If frosting, allow the cake to cool to room temperate before frosting.

GRANDMA BARR'S WACKY CAKE



Grandma Barr's Wacky Cake image

One of my fondest memories of my Dad's Mom, Grandma Barr, was her "Wacky Cake" it was scrup-deli-ishous! i though i had lost it, but i just found it so i will get it on JP for posterity =) This is a great recipe for anyone w/dairy allergies. You can make a powdered sugar frosting w/orange juice and drizzle it over the top. i just made it for a gal's birthday at my Husband's work, who has wheat allergies.

I regret I do not have a frosting recipe for this cake as I make without using any measurements. It is quite good with a chocolate frosting though. My grandma always put a couple tablespoons of coffee in her chocolate frosting makes it quite delicious!
