Erin's Favorite Chocolate Cake

We thought everyone might enjoy this recipe which MeLissa's Nest Friend, Erin, graciously shared with us:

Erin's All-Time Favorite Chocolate Cake
aka “Dad's (Erin's) Favorite Chocolate Cake”

3 C. flour
2 C. sugar
6 tbsp. cocoa powder
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
3/4 C. oil (vegetable)
2 tbsp. vinegar
2 tsp. vanilla
2 C. water

Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour cake pan. Put dry ingredients into mixing bowl and combine. Add: oil, vinegar, vanilla and water. Beat till smooth and pour into pan. Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Cool and frost.

And, now, for the "silly goose" part. MeLissa's mom called today and mentioned that she saw Erin's promise of an eggless chocolate cake recipe and told MeLissa it sounded like her Grandmother Naomi's Wacky Cake recipe. So, erhem, yeah, MeLissa has had an egg free recipe all this time...and simply didn't remember it! The Wacky Cake recipe in MeLissa's stash is essentially a mirror image of Erin's cut in half. *sigh* At least we've finally been enlightened!
