directions

  • Preheat oven to 325.
  • Sift dry ingredients into 9x13 inch cake pan. Make 3 dents, put the vegetable oil in one, vanilla in another and vinegar in the third. Pour two cups water over all of it and stir 50 times.
  • Bake for 45 minutes.
  • When mostly cooled, make the frosting.
  • For the frosting:.
  • In a small saucepan, combine sugar, butter and milk. Boil - stirring constantly for 1 minute ONLY. Remove from heat and stir in chocolate chips until smooth.
  • Pour over slightly warm cake.
  • NOTES: I always use a clear Pyrex cake pan to make sure all the dry ingredients are fully incorporated.
  • There is no need to spread the frosting over the cake, it will smooth itself out.

  1. What a great cake! And so incredibly easy to throw together. This recipe gives you a perfectly moist cake, the texture is wonderful, and the flavor is splendid. The icing is delicious and again, easy to make. I followed the recipe as written, but I had to stir it a few times more than the 50 recommended (but I understand that the number is probably more like a guideline to prevent/avoid overmixing, which tends to result in tougher cakes). Baking time was exactly right at 45 minutes.<br/>I would highly recommend this recipe to any and everyone, and my entire family has already told me that I had better not lose the recipe, as they fully expect me to make this cake again--that's about the highest praise and best recommendation any recipe can get...Thanks for sharing!! (I'll try to get a photo up if I can!)
     
  2. This is a tender and tasty cake! No eggs, no milk, no butter but LOTS of flavor and a quick cake to make when you're having company for lunch! Thanks for the recipe!
