Cockeyed Cake

This is an old recipe that I made in our Home Studies class in school. It has the strangest ingredients but is a quick and easy chocolate fudge snack cake. The kids will love it and so will you.

This cake is exceptionally delicious. I do add more cocoa to the recipe using rounded tablespoons of cocoa instead of leveling them I often make it into cupcakes and top with a simple chocolate frosting. For vegan cupcakes I substitute rice milk for the dairy milk in the frosting also use margarine instead of butter.<br/><br/>My grown children made cockeyed cakes when they were children and now my 8 year old grandson wants to make this cake. It is probably our most loved family recipe.
