Subject:  chocolate crazy cake (vegan!)

i know it sounds odd if you've never made it, but it is fast, easy,
you probably have all of the ingredients on hand because they don't
spoil, and it's very yummy!

1.5 cups flour
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp bakiong soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup cold water or coffee
2 tsp vanilla
2 tsp white or cider vinegar

preheat oven to 375
sift all dry ingredients directly into 9 inch round or 8 inch square
cake pan.
pour in all liquids except vinegar and mix until smooth. add vinegar
and stir quickly, the batter will look swirly. stir just enough to
evenly distribute the vinegar, then immediately bake 25-30 minutes.


Crazy spice cake:

Replace cocoa powder with:
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp cloves
1/4 tsp allspice

(This is the spice mixture I use in one loaf of banana bread.)

Notes: 

1: you can use 1/2 or 2/3 whole wheat pastry flour in either case.
Even more heart healthy!

2:  In fact I mix everything in a bowl, and grease and flour the
pan to make extraction easier.
