This, oh so simple cake takes just a few ingredients to whip up. Seriously y'all who would think that a cake with no eggs, butter or milk could be so moist and flavorful. Trust me it is. Oh, and you can forget about pulling out the KitchenAid because you can mix it together same pan that you bake it in.
How FABULOUS is that???
There are a tons of variations for this vintage depression era recipe on Pinterest. Sweet Little Bluebird has lots of different cake flavors for this recipe on her blog. She even has gluten free recipes.
So I decided to experiment with a spicy chocolate version. Yes indeedy, chocolate and spice are match made in heaven. If you haven't tried them together you've been missing out.
Chocolate Crazy Cake~My Variation
*Add 1/4-1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper to the dry ingredients for a nice spicy kick.*
Place all of the dry ingredients in a square baking dish. No need to grease the pan. Stir together and make three depressions, two big and one smaller like so.
Add the oil in one, the vanilla in another and the vinegar in the smallest. Pour the water over all and mix well. Bake in a preheated oven at 350* for 25-30 minutes. Or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Frost with your favorite icing or dust with powdered sugar. You can also enjoy it warm with a scoop of your favorite ice cream or gelato.
If you decide to try it be sure to let me know what you think.
