Hawaiian Cake

Hawaiian Cake

3 cups flour
2 cups sugar
6T cocoa
1/2 t salt
2 t baking soda
2 t vanilla
2 t vinegar
2/3 cup vegetable oil
2 cups warm water

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Grease and flour 9 x 13 cake pan.

Combine dry ingredients in large mixing bowl.  Mix thoroughly.

Add liquids.  Stir until smooth.  Do not over mix, or cake will be tough.

Bake 30 - 40 minutes.  Cake is done when toothpick inserted in center
comes out clean.

Watch carefully as overdone cake is dry and unpalatable.

Underdone cake will fall in center, but a gooier underdone cake is
preferable to overdone.

2 squares unsweetened chocolate
1 egg
1 cup confectioner's sugar (powdered sugar)
dash salt
1 t vanilla

Melt butter and chocolate in top of double boiler.

  1. I love how easy this is to make. One bowl - no pre-processing of any ingredients - just measure, mix, and bake. I haven't tried the frosting yet.
