This summer my girls and I are trying to find fun new things to do together. Yesterday, we made Crazy Cake! This recipe comes from an old children book that I kept from my childhood, "My Things to Do" Book. My grandmother, I call her "Momagrandma", gave me this book when I was 7-ish. I loved this book so much that when the book cover fell off I made my own cover. Somehow I lost the first 12 pages:).
Anyway, here is the recipe you will probably have everything you need in your cabinets. No eggs are added so it is ok to taste it before baking and everything goes into one pan (for easy clean up).

Crazy Cake! (from Lela Priestly, My Things To Do Book )
Directly into an 8" square cake pan
Sift 1 1/2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
3 tablespoon coca
1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
Make 3 holes in these dry ingredients.
Into one pour 1 teaspoon vanilla.
Into another pour 6 tablespoons cooking oil.
Into the third pour 1 tablespoon vinegar. (Crazy I know!)
Pour 1 cup cold water over all, and beat with a fork until smooth.
Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
We added icing but it does not need it.
The Cover I made for my book when I was 8.
Happy Baking!
