Wacky Cake

I recently made wacky cake for the first time ever! Wacky cake is a recipe my grandma used to make. I had never made it before but had heard the process described. I'd heard that it was easy and, guess what? IT IS! :) It's very possibly the easiest cake you can make from scratch! :) Here's how I made it:

Dry Ingredients
2 cups flour                                          
1 1/3 cups sugar                                
4 tablespoons cocoa                              
1/2 t salt (mounded)
1 1/2 t baking soda

My dry ingredients

 Here's something cool! So in order to make wacky cake you DO NOT spray the pan! Then you measure your dry ingredients into the pan (not a BOWL, the PAN :)). Oh, and try to use the right amount of cocoa! (I might have used 4 TEASPOONS instead of 4 TABLESPOONS. Haha. Oooops! :))

The dry ingredients mixed together in the pan

Wet Ingredients

1 1/2 T vinegar

1 stick butter, melted

1 1/2 t vanilla

1 1/3 c water

I made three little "nests" in my dry ingredients in which to pour the vinegar, butter and vanilla. 

Here's the wet ingredients

The three "nests" with the vanilla in one.

Next I poured the water over the whole pan and stirred it all as quickly as I could with a whisk and spatula. (I didn't quite get the corners all mixed in, so I encourage spending extra time on the corners with the spatula :P). 

I then baked it at 350° for 30 minutes.

The fully-baked cake!

Then I made my favorite chocolate frosting. Sometime when I'm less lazy I'll post that recipe too! ;) 

The finished cake! (Frosting and all :))

The End! :)
