Great Grandma Henton's Wacky Cake

 

This cake is mixed in the pan (ungreased) in which it is baked.

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour

1 teaspoon soda

1 cup sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

3 tablespoons cocoa

 

Combine these ingredients in the flour sifter and sift into pan.  Then make three holes in the mixture.  Space them evenly.  In the first hole put 1 tablespoon vinegar.  In the second hole put 1 teaspoon vanilla.  In the third hole put 5 tablespoons melted butter.  Then pour 1 cup of cold water over the entire thing.  Take a spoon and mix well.  Bake in 350 degree oven for 30 minutes.

 

*I made this cake on November 6, 2004.  It was quite good!  It took about 5 minutes to make.  You would never imagine it had vinegar in it.  The taste and texture were similar to that of a box mix.
