***This is my dad after he got the news his first Grandbaby had been born - Abbigail Joy on April 15, 06 - he figured he deserved a very large chocolate bunny! Good thing my mom was with us......she may not have allowed him as many bites as he desired!!!
Crazy Cake
3 cups flour
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup cocoa
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 cups water
3/4 cup oil (I often use applesauce for 1/2 of it)
2 Tbsp vinegar
1 tsp vanilla
Mix together but DO NOT BEAT!
Bake at 350 for 25 minutes or so
******This is called "crazy" cause it uses no eggs - apparently the baking soda and the vinegar react to make an "egg" !! It is a no-fail chocolate cake.....even the non-bakers out there cannot mess this one up :) I have made it into cupcakes, sheet cakes and even stacked cakes. It works every time!
For the frosting - I love to make a butter cream one and add mint flavoring. Or a peanut butter frosting is great too. Or you can just stick with a regular old chocolate frosting. All are delicious.
ENJOY!
