Hello Friends!  It's Ariean from OneKriegerChick again here to share a super-fun, really yummy cake recipe perfect for kids to make!  In fact, it's absolutely WACKY!

Wacky Cake

Once upon a time, before children, I taught Food classes in High School.  One of my substitute teachers shared this recipe with me, telling me it was ideal for my class.  Most of my students had not had much experience in the kitchen, so she was right.  This recipe dates back to war times when people had to ration ingredients and use what they had on hand.

What makes it WACKY?  Read on to see...

My boys love to cook and are always helping me in the kitchen.  To make it easier, often I prep all of the ingredients for them.  Today, I gave them the bowls and let them help me prep for the recipe.

You need a square, ungreased, baking dish and the following...

Pour all ingredients into the baking dish...

Stir it all together...

 

Only a few more ingredients to go...

Ready for the WACKY part?  Form three holes in the dry ingredients.

Pour Vinegar in one, Vanilla in another, and Cooking Oil in the third...

Then pour the water over the top...

Stir it all together by hand...

Bake according to recipe.  It will look like this...minus the large square my oldest thought would be the perfect size for his serving.

Decorate as WACKY as you like and Enjoy!

I think it's safe to say it was kid approved!

If you like this idea, I would love to have you stop by OneKriegerChick and see the other fun stuff we've been up to...
