Not a regular at TV football, the FIFA world cup does garner excitable energy to generally cheer for the losing team, especially for the 2014th year one, to stay true to The Indian Spirit of being the underdog fan. Must confess here that the Bengali influences were also rather heavy leaving no choice but going for the blue and the white!
Friends, Shalina and Rajesh organised a potluck with a fun mix of buddies and I decided to rustle up a couple of cakes. Crazy night ahead, so why not the crazy cake?
The crazy cake became rather popular during depression since the recipe did not need the usage of eggs. Basically, simply take 3 cups of white flour, 2 cups (1 and 3/4th will also be great) of white sugar powdered in your blender or of course castor sugar, 1 tsp salt, 2 tsp baking soda and 1/2 cup cocoa. Now sift this all together. Once done, make 3 wells in the mix. In one well, pour in 3/4 cup vegetable oil and in the 2nd well pour 2 tbsp distilled white vinegar. Finally into the 3rd well pour in 2 tsp vanilla extract. Now add 2 cups of cold water and mix well with a cake spatula.
Pour into a prepared cake tin, use a large tin, 9 by 13 inch is a good size. bake at 350 degrees F or 175 degrees C for about 30 mins or till the cake needle comes out clean.
Enjoy once cooled. Frosting with your favourite frosting will make it yummy too. The feel of the cake on your palette is moist and rich. It is rather lovely I must add.
