Depression Cake

A very easy mix-in-the-pan cake that is delicious! It is also milk- and egg-free.

1 1/2 cups flour
3 T cocoa
1 cup sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vinegar
1 tsp vanilla
5 T oil
1 cup water

Mix the dry ingredients in an 8" square pan. Make 3 wells and add the vinegar, vanilla and oil, one in each well. Pour water over top and mix well. Bake for 20 minutes at 350. A double recipe will make a 9x13 pan.

Vanilla Depression Cake
Omit the cocoa, add 3 T flour and increase the vanilla to 2 tsps.

Spice Depression Cake
Omit the cocoa, add 2 T flour and 1 T pumpkin spice.

1 T pumpkin spice =
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
3/4 tsp ginger
1/4 + 1/8 tsp each allspice and nutmeg
