Wacky Chocolate Cake
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
4 1/2 tablespoons cocoa
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1 1/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons dark (or spiced) rum
Sift flour, sugar, cocoa, soda & salt into bowl. Make a well and add oil, venegar & vanilla. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds. Stop & scrape bowl
Add milk & rum. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds. Stop and scrape bowl. Beat on medium speed for 1 minute.
Pour batter into a greased and floured pan. Will make 1 10 inch bundt cake, 1 9x13 cake or 2 8" or 9" pans. Bake 50-55 for bunt. About 20-25 mins for the round and approx 25-30 mins on the 9x13 (test often for the last to make sure you do not over cook)
Obviously the rum cooks out completely! It just adds a bit more to the liquid and works to make sure it will rise correctly.
