Crazy Chocolate Cake

By acampman

Also called Wacky Cake. Not sure who came up with this but Kurt says it smacks of central Pennsylvania. Sounds like something that was invented at a frat party.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 C. cake flour
• 1 C. sugar
• 3 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 6 tbsp. melted shortening or salad oil
• 1 tbsp. vinegar
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1 C. cold water

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350.
Sift flour, measure. Then sift again with sugar, cocoa, soda and salt into an ungreased 10 in. baking pan.
Make 3 depressions. Into one, pour the melted shortening; into the second, the vinegar and into the third, the vanilla.
Pour the cold water over all and mix with a fork, but do not beat.
Bake at 350 degree for 30 min.
Cool in the pan on a rack, frost with your favorite chocolate or white icing.
Serve right from the pan.
