Spiced Crazy/Wacky Cake

By Nanadi-2

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups flour + 2 Tablespoons (all-purpose)
• 1 Tablespoons pumpkin spice
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon white vinegar
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 5 Tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 cup water

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Mix first 5 dry ingredients in a greased 8" square baking pan. Make 3 depressions in dry ingredients - two small, one larger (see #3 in photo below). Pour vinegar in one depression, vanilla in the other and the vegetable oil in third larger depression. Pour water over all. Mix well until smooth.

Bake on middle rack of oven for 35 minutes. Check with toothpick to make sure it comes out clean. Cool. Top with your favorite frosting (I use vanilla). Enjoy!

Note: Oven cooking times may vary, be sure to check your cake to make sure you do not over bake.

Tip - You can double this recipe, just use a 9x13 baking pan.
Mix the batter in a bowl for neater, easier mixing. Be sure to follow the directions the same way - mixing the dry ingredients then making the depressions for the wet ingredients. Don't forget to grease you pan.

Replace the oil with apple sauce. If you don't have pumpkin spice use 3/4 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp ground cloves, and 1/2 tsp ground allspice.

Add 1.5 cups of grated carrots for the best carrot cake of all time!
