I'm super excited to share my first guest recipe! This recipe comes from my friend Kristy's (yes we have the same name and spelled the same!) Grandma, Barbara. I love recipe cards like this one. First, because it's handwritten and second, because you can tell it's been made quite a few times. She sent me a few recipes, so I'll be making them in the future.
The first thing I noticed about this recipe was that it doesn't call for any eggs. The fact that there also isn't any milk or butter didn't dawn on me until later. The word before cocoa stumped us all. It obviously looks like "bft" but I couldn't find anything under bft cocoa. So if you know what it could be, please let me know!! This was a simple cake, made in one bowl. While my kids thought it needed some icing on top, I thought it was good without it. Not too sweet and would probably go really well with a scoop of vanilla ice cream :)
My interpretation of the recipe:
Real Crazy Cake

My Friend Kristy's Grandma
1½ cups sifted all-purpose flour
3 Tablespoons (bft) cocoa

½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla
5 Tablespoons salad oil
1 cup water
Combine well all ingredients .
Bake in 8" square greased pan

I hope you enjoy and give this recipe a second chance in your kitchen too.
