Duplicate Cake
This recipe is from Jan Barrett's mother In-law. She was a very frugal woman who still cooked on a wood stove back in the 1960's, not just because she lived during the Great Depression,but because she had five kids and her husband was the sole bread winner. It is a very mosit chocolate cake. Missing in the recipe are eggs and mild perhaps they were scarce @ the time the recipe was developed...
2 cups sugars
3 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup bakers cocoa
2 tsp baking soda
2 Tbsp vinegar
1 tsp vanilla
2/3 cup salad oil (vegetable oil)
2 cups water
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
Mix all ingredients together by hand till smooth (batter will be thin). Bake in 9x13 greased pan for 35-40 minutes in a 350 degree oven. Top with peanut butter (or any other kind ) frosting or none at all ( some folks have been known to eat it hot right out the oven with butter) and watch it disappear.
