Guest guest Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Crazy Cake 3 cups unbleached white flour 2 cups of sugar 1 tsp. salt 2 tsp. baking soda 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa ( you can leave this out and it will still turn out ok) 3/4 cup canola oil 2 Tbsp. white vinegar (I have used apple cider vinegar with fine results too) 2 tsp. vanilla extract 2 cups cold water (add just a tiny bit less water if you are leaving out the cocoa) Sift flour, sugar, salt, soda, and cocoa (if used) into a 9 x 13 inch, ungreased cake pan. Make three wells. Pour oil into one, vinegar into another and vanilla into the last one. Pour cold water over it all and stir very well with a fork. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 30 to 40 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. This cake is best if left in the pan and then frosted but you can also bake it in a bundt pan. I can't remember the exact time but around 50 to 55 minutes, I think. If you want to make it a spice cake just add 2 tsps. cinnamon, 1/4 tsp. nutmet and 1/4 tsp. ground cloves and add some raisins. The year I made it as a birthday cake for my friend's daughter, I cut the cake up and reassembled it in the shape of a Raggedy Ann doll, then iced and decorated it. I still have the picture....all these years later. Nancy C. East Texas Is there a recipe we can use to make a birthday cake for her using no milk or rice milk? I looked in the files but there doesn't seem to be a plain white cake; I thought if I found one using soy milk we could just substitute the rice milk. I am a fairly new vegetarian and I don't have many vegetarian cookbooks yet but could get one from the library if someone has a suggestion. Thanks (and Baby Willa says Thank You, too).
