First things first: This is not a very good recipe. If you want a cake that doesn’t involve using a mixer, then I would recommend the dump cake recipe instead. The liquid ingredients in this recipe do not penetrate all of the dry ingredients, so there is a very hard crust on the bottom which is not easy to cut through, much less chew.
A caveat before we get started: Honestly, it doesn’t matter, because you shouldn’t be making this anyway.
Here’s what you’ll need:
1 ½ Cups Flour
1 Cup Sugar
3 Tbsp. Cocoa
1 tsp. Salt
1 tsp. Baking Soda
5 Tbsp. Oil or Butter, melted
2 tsp. Vinegar
1 tsp. Vanilla
1 Cup Cold Water
In a greased 9” square pan, combine flour, sugar, cocoa, salt and baking soda with a fork until mixed well. Create three holes in flour mixture.
In a separate bowl mix together oil or butter, vinegar, and vanilla with a fork. Pour into the three holes.
Pour cold water over everything.
Bake in a 350-degree oven for 35 to 40 minutes.
Cut with a jackhammer, then throw the whole thing out.
Not all recipes work out.
I tried making a Salmon Loaf in university. Being a lazy sort, I skipped a few steps and found myself with a brick that smelled like bad fish.
I tried a bite and spat it out.
Went to A&W.
ETA: Did you bake a Jesus cake? I see Jeebus’ face in it.
I can’t unsee Him now.
Now that you mention it, I DO see the face of Jesus.
IT’S A MIRACLE. SOMEBODY CALL THE VATICAN.
Whoops. I remember throwing this out. Nevermind.
Now I know I’ll have some more good company in Hell.
Maybe the cake rises out of the trash bin in 3 days?
Meh, been there. A swing and a miss.
Oh! I just thought of this! It probably would have been great if you had used a Bundt pan. 😈
My thoughts exactly, nothing a good bundt pan can’t cure!
Bundt pans are the disease, not the cure.
No, it still would have fucking sucked if it was in a bundt pan. It just would have sucked a little more.
Crazy or not, I’d probably eat that.
What a frustrating waste of ingredients.
