WACKY CHOCOLATE CAKE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Preheat the oven to 350 F/180 C/Gas 4 and grease and flour an 8-inch square baking pan.
• Combine the flour, sugar, cocoa, soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Whisk or stir to blend thoroughly.
• Make three wells in the flour mixture.
• Add the vanilla in one bowl, add the vinegar in another, and in the third the vegetable oil.
• Pour the cold water over the mixture and stir until moistened.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until it springs back when touched lightly.

CHOCOLATE WACKY CAKE

Steps:

• Adjust the rack to the middle shelf of the oven.
• Preheat oven to 350F.
• Use cooking spray to grease a 9" round cake pan or 8"x 8" square cake pan. Set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl whisk together flour, brown sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.
• Add the coffee, vinegar, vanilla and chocolate chips. Stir until the batter is smooth - it is generally on the thin side.
• Poor the batter into the prepared pan and bake. A metal pan takes about 25 minutes. A glass pan takes about 30-35 minutes. When a tester inserted in the center of the cake comes out with damp crumps the cake is done.
• Make the frosting right away and frost the cake while frosting and cake are hot.
• Combine the chocolate chips, milk and butter in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds.
• Use a fork or small whisk to blend together. If the chocolate chips are not fully melted microwave an additional 15-30 seconds. Stir again.
• Add powdered sugar and vanilla, stir with a whisk or fork until the frosting is smooth.
• Frost the cake immediately while frosting and cake are still hot.
• Leftover cake can be stored at room temperature for up to three days.

WACKY CAKE

Steps:

• Important NOTE: The cake relies on the last-minute combination of vinegar and baking soda for leavening. The reaction between the two causes the batter to bubble vigorously, and thus, rise. The cake has to be prepared in its baking pan; otherwise it doesn't rise nearly as well. Make wells in the dry ingredients and add the wet ingredients--oil, vinegar, and vanilla--to the wells, and then add water and stir quickly (but not too much) to blend the batter just moments before you put it into the oven. Streaks of flour should remain.
• Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees. Coat 8-inch-square baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• Whisk flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, and salt together in pan. Using a spoon, make 1 large and 2 small craters in dry ingredients (the large carter needs to deep enough to hold the oil). Add oil to large crater and vinegar and vanilla separately to remaining small craters. Pour water into pan, using a wooden spoon or spatula, mix the batter, taking care not to overmix; the batter should still contain a few streaks of flour. Immediately put pan in oven.
• Bake until toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, about 30 minutes. Cool in pan, then dust with confectioners' sugar. (If tightly wrapped, cake will keep for 3 days at room temperature.)
• Great with ice cream or whipped cream or both :-).
