This kinda blows the thought that you can eat out cheaper than cooking at home.  A family of 5 can't even eat at Fast Food for under ten dollars anymore. 

Grandma's Chocolate Crazy Cake 

This super easy recipe came from my Grandma Cassel, a very busy mother of 9 children. 

1 1/2 Cups Flour 

1 Cup Sugar 

3 Tablespoons Cocoa Powder 

1 teaspoon Baking Soda 

1/2 teaspoon Salt 

5-6 Tablespoons Oil 

1 Tablespoon Vinegar 

1 teaspoon Vanilla 

1 Cup Water

Get your ingredients ready.

Pre-Heat oven to 350* F 

Spray baking pan (9x13) with non-stick spray. 

In mixing bowl mix first 5 ingredients. 

Add wet ingredients, mix together until you have a nice batter. 

Pour into baking pan. 

Bake for 30 min. or so. 

Let cool, frost if you wish, but the cake is wonderful just by itself.  

Enjoy!
