My friend Nina says this is the only cake she makes anymore. This cake did happen in Kathy’s Kitchen this week; it was pretty yummy. I think I’ll make it for Father’s Day.
Here is the cake recipe. It calls for an 8” glass pan
but I only have a 9x7” pan and it works just fine. I like this recipe
because it mixes up in the pan without having to grease the pan or get out a
mixer. The recipe came from the Santa Barbara News Press back in the
1980s when we lived on Vandenberg AFB in California.
In the pan, put 1 and 1/2 cups of flour, 1 cup sugar, 1/4
cup cocoa, 1 tsp baking soda and 1/2 tsp salt. Blend the dry ingredients
with a whisk or fork.
In the center of the dry ingredients make a well. Add
6 tablespoons oil (I use olive since that’s what I have on hand, any will do),
1 tsp vanilla and 1 cup cold water. Mix well with fork or whisk.
Add 1 tablespoon vinegar (any will do) mix well but quickly!
Bake at 350 degrees for 25-35 minutes.
Let cool and frost with your favorite frosting.
