Recipe(tried): Screwball Cake - Thank You: Recipe Found

Desserts - Cakes
SCREWBALL CAKE

3 cups all-purpose flour (I sometimes sift it)
2 cups sugar
2/3 cup Quality (Scharffen Berger) unsweetened Cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 teaspoons white vinegar
2/3 cup vegetable oil
2 cups cold tap water

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, and lightly spray a 13x9x2-inch pan.

Turn beaters on in a free-standing mixer, then dump in flour, sugar, cocoa, salt and soda. Thoroughly mix in vanilla, vinegar and liquid oil. (Batter will look screwy). Dump 2 cups tap water (slowly) over the whole mess and continue beating, stopping to scrape down the bowl once or twice. The batter will be thin. 1st time I made it I thought I'd created a disaster.

Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes.

Test in the usual manner with a toothpick. The pick should come out clean with just a few moist crumbs attached.

Frost as desired, and serve.
Thanks to all who replied to my "old 2004" posting. In the interim I've invested in a great recipe database and am in the process of entering many recipes from archival cards, papers, etc. into the database. While thus involved, I found the recipe I wanted on a 3X5 card. It is called a screwball cake for various reasons.

I could make this recipe in my sleep now, and no matter what other recipe I might try, my husband will always ask me to go back to it. Think I'll make it for my birthday at the end of this month.

ENJOY!
