Wacky Cake
Ingredients:
- In a 9x13 inch baking dish, whisk together:
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 3 rounded T. cocoa
- 1 cup sugar- I used brown sugar
- 1 tsp. baking soda
Directions:
Make three wells in the dry ingredients. In one well add 1 T. vinegar, I used balsamic. To the second well add 5 T. melted shortening, I used butter. To the third well add 1 T. Vanilla. The recipe calls for 1 tsp vanilla but I like lots of vanilla.
Pour 1 C. of cold water, I used milk, over the entire dish and stir until well mixed. Bake in same dish in a 350 degree oven for 15-20 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. The original recipe states 30 minutes but mine was done in under 20. Cool cake a bit and glaze with:
Chocolate Espresso Glaze
Ingredients:
- 3 T. melted butter
- 1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 tsp. powdered instant espresso
Directions:
Stir chips and espresso powder into the melted butter until smooth. Pour over cake and spread evenly. Serves about 10.
Note- The cake itself is not overly sweet and has that wonderful homemade from scratch flavor. The glaze then makes it perfectly sweet and scrumptious.
