Chocolate Wacky Cake | Food Network
Y'all were right about Chocolate Wacky Cake ????
Ingredients
1/3 cup vegetable oil, plus more for greasing the pan
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp kosher salt
2 tbsp white vinegar
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 cup brewed coffee
2 cups frosting or whipped cream, for serving
Directions
Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with vegetable oil.
Sift the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt through a fine-mesh strainer directly into the prepared baking pan. Stir together with a fork (or a silicone whisk if using a nonstick baking pan). Add the oil, vinegar, vanilla and coffee; stir with the fork until fully incorporated. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 35 minutes.
Let the cake cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, about 1 hour. Frost the top of the cake with the frosting, if using. Cut into 9 squares and serve each with a dollop of whipped cream, if using.

Vanilla Depression Cake Recipe - this makes two cakes to be stacked together, obviously halve the recipe if you just want one smaller cake!
3 Cups of Plain Flour
2 Cups of Sugar
2 Teaspoons of Baking Soda
1 Teaspoon of Salt
Mix dry ingredients together, then add:
2 Teaspoons of White Vinegar
3 Teaspoons of Vanilla Essence
10 Tablespoons of Oil (I just used Canola)
2 Cups of Water
Mix all ingredients together, pour into two 20cm greased cake tins and bake in a preheated oven at 175oC for 35 minutes, leaving to cool on the bench afterwards.
Icing can be whatever you like, but I recommend a buttercream icing (which I'm terrible at making so won't submit a recipe just yet - give me time!)
