Wacky Cake Recipe Page

Hey you guys!!

I'm watching The Electric Company with my daughter right now. Have you seen the new one yet? It's so cool! I used to love the old Electric Company when I was a kid and the new one doesn't disappoint! It's really a fun little show with a beat box guy and Tiki Barber makes a guest appearance in one of the episodes. Really, he's a hottie.

Speaking of kids shows, did I ever tell you about my crush on Bill Nye the Science Guy? When I was in college I told anyone who would listen that I was going to marry him. You can imagine my disappointment when I learned that he got married to someone else a few years ago.

But I digress...

Today I wanted to show you another recipe card we made in January's class. This one was my grandmother's go-to chocolate cake recipe. I think it's called a Wacky Cake because the ingredient list is, well, a bit wacky. No milk. A bit of vinegar of all things. And two cups of warm water. Kinda strange, huh? But it is sooooo good! It's the only chocolate cake I would eat as a child.


My grandmother would also make some yummy homemade vanilla icing too. We made a page for this recipe, too, but I forgot to save that recipe in my blog queue, so I won't have access to that picture until our desktop computer gets hooked up into whatever new house we end up in. Whenever that happens... (sigh)

Here's the card recipe:

Paper: Blush Blossom, Taken With Teal, Whisper White
Accessories: Chocolate Chip Double Stitched Ribbon, 1/4" Pretty in Pink grosgrain ribbon, Baja Breeze striped ribbon

Wacky Cake recipe:

3 c flour
6 T cocoa
2 T baking soda
2 c sugar
1 tsp salt
10 T melted butter

Happy baking you guys!
