Wacky Cake

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.

Muddy Buddies

9 c Chex cereal 1 c semi-sweet choco chips 1/2 c creamy peanut butter 1/4 c (1/2 stick) butter or margarine 1 tsp vanilla 1-1/2 c powdered sugar Place cereal in large bowl. Place chocolate chips, peanut butter and butter in medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in high for 1-1/2 minutes or until mixture is smooth when stirred. Stir in vanilla. Pour chocolate mixture over cereal, stirring until all pieces are evenly coated. Pour mixture into large plastic bag with powdered sugar; shake until all pieces are coated. Spread on waxed paper to cool. Store in airtight container in refrigerator. Makes about 9 cups. Instead of putting this all into a plastic bag like it asks, I have a big "that's a bowl" from tupperware that I put everything into. I put on the lid and shake it. I don't spread it on waxed paper to cool, I just make sure there is enough powdered sugar to cover all the pieces. Then you can transfer it to a clean container for serving.
