Foodie Friday

A while ago I said I was going to post my weekly menus. But with all my health troubles we have been pretty much eating from the freezer. I knew there was a reason I had been cooking double meals and freezing one. We have enough for a couple of weeks. Another blessing is I have a Husband who can and likes to cook. Also our 14 yo daughter loves to be in the kitchen, we just need to keep the spices away from her! LOL especially cumin! So every now and then on Fridays I am going to post a recipe our family really likes.

My Mom used to make this recipe a lot. I just thought it was chocolate cake, which I do not like...I do not care for chocolate. I decided to make this one day when we were learning about the great depression. This cake was very popular during that era. I know the ingredients are very weird but my family LOVED it. This is not my picture I got this from AllRecipes. It looks like they put peanut butter frosting on it....hmmm I might try it then, I LOVVVVE peanut butter!

Crazy Cake
3 cups all-purpose flour

2 cups white sugar

1 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons baking soda

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

3/4 cup vegetable oil (I used canola oil)

2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 cups cold water

Directions
Sift flour, sugar, salt, soda, and cocoa together into a 9 x 13 inch ungreased cake pan. Make three wells. Pour oil into one well, vinegar into second, and vanilla into third well. Pour cold water over all, and stir well with fork. Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 to 40 minutes, or until tooth pick inserted comes out clean.
