{Crazy Cake}

I'm sure there are a lot of different names for this cake, this is the name we grew up calling it :) This is such an easy and deliciously moist and very chocolatey cake! I used to always ask for it for my birthday. And if you don't have eggs on hand this is the cake to make. I love it with chocolate frosting but you could use any frosting that you love!
















3 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3/4 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups cold water

Sift flour, sugar, salt, soda, and cocoa together into a 9 x 13 inch ungreased cake pan. Make three wells. Pour oil into one well, vinegar into second, and vanilla into third well. Pour cold water over all, and stir well with fork.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes, or until tooth pick inserted comes out clean.


For the Frosting:

2 3/4 cups powdered sugar
6 Tbs unsweetened cocoa powder
6 Tbs softened butter
5 Tbs evaporated milk
1 tsp vanilla

In a medium bowl mix together the powdered sugar and cocoa powder, set aside.
In a large bowl cream the butter until smooth then slowly add the sugar mixture and evaporated milk, mix in the vanilla
