Wack Cake

Hi my name is Jaicee and I’m here to show you how to make a cake.

Supplies

For This wacky cake you will need flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, vinegar, oil and cold water. And for the frosting you will need milk, butter, sugar and chocolate chips. Also you will need bowls, mixing supplies, and a pan along with some measuring cups.

First you will Start by preheating you oven to 350 degrees. Next in a bowl combine your dry ingredients. Combine 1 ½ cups of flour and 1 cup of sugar be sure not to add too much flour or the wet ingredients will absorb the flour leaving your cake dry and crumbly. And if you add too much sugar it could weaken a cake structure so much that it collapses. Next add in 1 T. of coco and 1 tsp. of salt. Make sure not to add to much salt or add to much coco powder but you also have to make sure that there is enough. After that you add in 1 tsp. of baking soda. Only add 1 tsp. of baking soda, adding more can cause the batter to be bitter tasting. It can also cause the batter to rise rapidly and then collapse.

In a separate bowl start to combine the wet ingredients. Add 1c. of cold water, make sure to use cold water and not warm or hot water. Then add ½ cup of oil and finally add 2 T. of vinegar.

Now combine the wet and dry ingredients and mix well then add to a greased pan. Then preheat your oven to 350 degrees and bake for 30-35 minutes or until pick in center comes out clean.

Then, While the cake in baking its time to make the frosting. In a small saucepan, combine 1c. of sugar, 5 T. of butter, and 1/3 C. of milk. Bring this to a boil stirring constantly for 1 minute. Next remove the mixture from the heat and stir in chocolate chips till smooth.

Finally when the cake is done baking, wait for it to cool then take the frosting and pour it over the cake. And that’s to make a wacky cake.
