Wacky Cake

By
This is our favorite cake, it is hands down the best chocolate cake we have ever had.

3 cups flour
2 cups sugar
6 tbsp cocoa
2 tsp soda
1 tsp salt

I mix these all together then add:

2 tsp vinegar
3/4 cup oil
2 tsp vanilla
2 cups cold water

Mix and pour into cake pan. Bake at 350 for 30 to 40 minutes, depends on the humidity, if it is raining it has to cook for 40 min. if not 30 or 35 so start with 30 minutes.

Cream Cheese Frosting

1 8 oz. package cream cheese
1 square butter (1/2 cup butter) or margarine
2 tsp. vanilla
1 pkg powder sugar.

Mix well.
