Chocolate Cake In-the-Pan (no eggs)

This recipe has a lot of different names, some call it a crazy cake.

Instructions

This recipe can be scaled up for larger pans. (1 1/2 times everything works well in a 9 x 13 pan.)

It tends to be a bit round on the top, but if you level it off you can make a two or three layer cake. (You'll have to suffer eating the scraps separately.)

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon vinegar
1 stick margarine (melted)
1 teaspoon vanilla

1 cup cool water

Sift the dry ingredients into an ungreased 9 x 9 glass pan.

Make 3 holes with a spoon.

Put the melted margarine into one hole, the vinegar into the second hole and the vanilla into the third hole.

Add 1 cup cool water and mix well.

Bake in a 350 degree oven for 35 minutes or until it passes the toothpick test.

You can frost this cake with your favorite chocolate frosting, but we usually don't bother.
