A no egg cake.This cake is so good and moist. Thought maybe someone out there would like to give it as a gift. They can bake and enjoy this wonderful cake when they have a taste for it. I have been told it is called a Crazy Cake because of the unusual direction of the 3 indentations in mixed dry ingredients in the cake pan. Then the oil, vinegar and water with vanilla is added to the indentations. Then mixed in with a fork in the pan! You get a better mixture if you mix it all in a bowl. Any way that's what I do. How ever you want to do it, it will still taste the same.....
