Wacky Cake!

I found this recipe at Savory Sweet Life.

I'd never heard of this type of cake before. But the fact that it didn't require eggs, butter or milk was a plus in my book!
I don't always have these items on hand.
This is by far, the easiest cake I've ever made.

Being that I hadn't heard of the cake before, I was very interested to see how it would turn out.

It was quite a runny cake mix when it went into the oven. But once it came out it looked great.
Very much enjoyed it, unlike other Chocolate cakes, it wasn't too sweet for my teeth!
It had an almost, pudding-like texture to it. My better half wants to try it warm with some ice cream!

Chocolate Wacky Depression Cake (Sweet Savory Life Recipe)

INGREDIENTS:

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup white sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 cup cocoa powder

6 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 tablespoon white vinegar

1 cup water

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium mixing bowl, mix all the dry ingredients together by hand. Add all the wet ingredients until well combined. Pour into a 8×8 pan which has been prepared with non stick spray.

Bake for 30 until done. Allow to completely cool before serving. Cake is even better if eaten the next day. Enjoy!

Working 5:30 til Midnight!

This cake. Took me all night.

Till midnight exactly actually.

The bottom cake was chocolate cake. The top was a white chocolate mud cake.

It didn't really taste like white chocolate though. Which I found a bit disappointing.

Plus it wasn't quite as moist as the chocolate one. I don't know why.

Both cakes were covered with a light vanilla frosting for a crumb coat.

Something about my cakes, I dont know why but the edge of the top goes kinda hard. I wish I knew how to fix this, I think this is why my fondant didn't sit flat.

They were then covered with Chocolate MMF.

Marshmellow Fondant. Which I made from scratch. It was stressful but fun.

And once I had rolled it out and laid it across my cake. It was the best feeling of achievement ever!

Pink fondant around the edge of each of the cakes. With little rolled flowers.

The roses I think are the second best part I was proud of.

I did them the night before to let them set. I think they look rather professional!

Too bad my icing writing wasn't!
