This is a cake recipe my mom makes for our birthdays. It's great! My mom
got it out of a coloring book my sister had when she was little. It's really
good and has NO EGGS!
Ingredients:
1 c. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1-1/2 c. flour
1 tsp. baking soda
6 T. baking cocoa
1 T. lemon juice
6 T. oil
1 tsp. vanilla
1 c. of cold water
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350
degrees. Combine first five ingredients in a bowl then add the lemon juice,
oil, and vanilla, stir and the add water. Batter may be lumpy so stir until
you have most of the lumps out. Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake
pan or 9-inch square pan. Pour in batter. Bake for 30 minutes. Stick a
toothpick in center of cake to test for doneness. When it comes out clean it
is done. Take it out and cool. When it is cool you can frost it. Enjoy! This
recipe can easily be doubled for a 9x13-inch cake.
Tip: If you need to turn your cake out of the pan make sure you grease and
flour the pan then cut a piece of wax paper the same size as the bottom of the
pan. Grease and flour the wax paper also and place in the pan with the flour
side up. After the cake comes out of the oven let it cool about 10 minutes.
Place a clean piece of wax paper on top of the cake then a wire cooling rack
on top. Using oven mitts turn the cake over. It should come easily out of the
pan. Let this cool completely. If you want to frost it as is then place a
plate on top and tip the cake over. Remove the wax paper. (The sticky stuff on
the wax paper is the best to eat. Do it right away!) Or you can cut the cake,
for a themed or shaped cake, then frost.
