Food on Fridays with AnnWe’ve been making this chocolate cake recipe for years. It’s called “Absurdly Easy Chocolate Cake.”It’s well named. It really is absurdly easy, fast, economical, and simple. It’s so foolproof, my kids learned to stir it up when they could barely pronounce “absurdly,” and the final product always turned out perfectly. Another feature is that it uses just a few ingredients that we almost always have on hand (recipe also found at this site). You know what that means?You can have chocolate cake anytime.
Absurdly Easy Chocolate Cake
Ingredients3 cups flour (680 grams)2 cups sugar (450 grams) (read this first)6 tablespoons cocoa (100 grams)2 teaspoons baking soda (10 cc’s = 10 ml)1 teaspoon salt (5 cc’s = 5 ml)3/4 cup vegetable oil (200 cc’s)2 tablespoon vinegar (30 cc’s)2 teaspoon vanilla (10 cc’s)2 cup cold water (480 cc’s)

I don’t know if this is a southern coastal recipe, but while at the shores of Alabama this past week, we had deep fried pickles…they were sliced thin and deep fried in a wonderful and light shrimp batter…
my description is not doing them justice…lightly sweet and flaky crunch on the outside with an ever so slightly sour pickle on the inside….with ranch dip….mmmmmm….
they were awesome…
I had never heard of them before…
another interesting factoid u-12 shrimp are colossal shrimp that make up 12 to a pound, yes, 12 to a pound…I bought 10 lbs. worth, brought them home, and gave most of them to my in-laws for babysitting youngest daughter while we were gone….the shrimp were a hit!
I.
love.
shrimp.
(not sure about the pickles…)
Actually, I love all kinds of southern food, but I’ve always lived in the north, where grits are unheard of and sweet tea is only just now making inroads through McDonald’s and a couple of deli-type restaurants.
But I digress.
I hope you had a wonderful trip and filled up on yummy food!
This looks like a great chocolate cake recipe. I can’t wait to try it! :o)
I am making this cake for hubby’s return from fishing trip on Sunday. . .thanks so much for the recipe!
Anything with the words “absurdly easy” in the title is right up my alley! Add the words “chocolate” and “cake” and I’m there. I’ll have to try this. Thanks! -Julia 🙂
Dear Ann-I have not stopped by for a few days and missed that you are doing a carnvial. I will make it a point to join in the fun next week. Hope all is well with your fam! Blessings.
I just realized that my Food on Fridays posts have been rather chocolate-y.
Nutella.
Chocolate Gravy.
Absurdly Easy Chocolate Cake.
Now that I realize it, I’m a little embarrassed.
But only a little. Because I think you all will understand.
Hi Ann,
Thanks for linking on my Weekend Fun Food!
I used to make a cake similar to this one. Delicious! I am not a frosting sort, but my Pirates are. We found an easy, yummy chocolate frosting recipe we love on allrecipes.com. Here’s a link.http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Chocolate-Frosting-I/Detail.aspx
Just printed this one out, to go on my so-tall-it’s-teetering “recipes to try” pile. And please — don’t EVER apologize about posting about chocolate 🙂 Keep ’em coming!
