Wacky Cake<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n
This is a depression era cake. My recipe is from my grandmother. She loved this recipe because it uses a single pan. No dishes!<\/span>
<\/div>The cake is vegan (though the frosting used here is not). Enjoy!<\/span><\/div>\n

        Instructions<\/h3>

        Wacky Cake (note – this recipe is designed to come together straight in the baking pan so that you only have to dirty 1 dish – Ayr uses a 9″ round pan)<\/h4>
        • Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F<\/div> <\/li>
        • Sift flour, baking soda, cocoa powder together in pan.<\/div> <\/li>
        • Add sugar and salt. Mix all these dry ingredients together until even (it’ll be one homogenous brown color from the cocoa)<\/div> <\/li>
        • Using the back of a spoon, make 3 big wells in the dry mixture (big enough to contain the wet ingredients without overflowing)<\/div> <\/li>
        • Pour oil and vinegar into 1 of the wells<\/div> <\/li>
        • Pour water into the 2 other wells, add vanilla into 1 of the water wells<\/div> <\/li>
        • Mix together (vinegar and baking soda will react together – fun for kids!)<\/div> <\/li>
        • Put into oven, bake for 25 min<\/div> <\/li><\/ul><\/div>

          Broiled Coconut Frosting<\/h4>
          • Mix ingredients together in a bowl<\/div> <\/li>
          • When cake is done, take cake out and set oven to broil – wait a few minutes for broiler to heat up<\/div> <\/li>
          • Spread frosting evenly over the cake<\/div> <\/li>
          • Put frosted cake into the oven – with oven door open, broil until frosting has lightly browned (a few minutes – you’ll see the frosting start to bubble)<\/div> <\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n
