![]() So, I guess the cookbook editors of these two major companies were fans of “your” recipe as well as countless other individuals. The coffee just enhances the flavor of the chocolate. I have made still another recipe variation that calls for cold, brewed coffee instead of water, and sprinkling the top with a cinnamon-sugar mixture before baking. Both of these recipes utilize the same basic ingredients one is adjusted for a 9-inch pan, and the other a 13 x 9 inch pan. The other recipe appears in “Cooking In The South”, which was published by Southern Living in 1980. The “Hershey’s Cocoa Cookbook”was published in 1979 and the recipe is titled ‘Wacky Cocoa Cake’. I have two different cookbooks that contain variations of these same recipes. Someone mentioned Depression Cake, which I have seen recipes for online. In fact, the recipe using vinegar, oil, and water rather than perishable dairy ingredients originated many years ago. Just an FYI for the lady who basically accused Jenny of copying a recipe out of another cookbook, which I’m assuming was hers…… There are actually several identical, or very similar recipes, that have been floating around for years. I will definitely be back, especially now during our sequestration. We are on a tight budget so it is so very helpful. How thankful to have found your site!Ī thousand thanks for freely sharing your knowledge and excellent recipes and tips. We used to watch your talk show and enjoyed it a lot – so when I stumbled on one of your videos on YouTube, you looked so familiar. I do so appreciate your instructions and videos which are clear and easy to follow, and I am so excited to try more of your recipes. I cannot tell you how many recipes I have tried with empty promises – and wasted ingredients. I used (a little less than 1 cup) sucanate sugar and lemon in a bottle, (just a little less) and it came out so delicious! No eggs, no butter, and next time I will try using 1/2 low-fat sour cream with the oil to lighten it even more. This cake was just as described, and is the closest thing to real brownies I have tried. Cakes that are made a day ahead of time will be easier to work with, w/ fewer crumbs & crumbling. Place saran & a cookie sheet on top of the cake, flip all over, lift off the pan, wrap airtight in the saran, place back in the pan upside down, & leave on the counter at room temp for a day to ‘season’. If removing it from the pan (you can make 2 layers for a layer cake) put parchment in the bottom of the pan & spray the sides of the pan. If leaving this cake in the pan, press saran on its surface while it’s still warm, about 30 minutes out of the oven. I pull all my cakes when they test at 208 degrees since they will bake out of the oven for a couple more minutes. Once the internal temp reaches 212 degrees, the liquids are boiling & evaporating, so the cake will be dry & over baked. When you can smell a cake, it’s almost done, & time to test. Baking cakes at 300 degrees also gives the edges more time to bake higher, ending up w/ a flat cake. I bake all my cakes at 300 & test the internal temp w/ an instant-read thermometer for doneness, like you’d test a steak. I also make this cake without cocoa for other flavors – for a lemon cake use lemon extract, water, & lemon zest or lemonade & lemon zest for an orange cake use orange extract, water, & orange zest or orange juice and orange zest: banana extract w/ a little yellow food color strawberry extract w/ a little pink food color etc. For a chocolate cake, I use 1 cup cold coffee in place of the water, to give the chocolate flavor a boost. For diabetic clients, I use Swerve White Granulated Sugar Replacement & for gluten-free clients, I use gluten-free flour. I mix the ingredients right in an ‘ungreased’ cake pan w/ a fork, if it will be left in the pan for serving. My recipe calls for white vinegar, but lemon juice would also work in the same way. I’ve been making this cake for over 45 years, “Mix-in-the-Pan Jiffy Cake”, for clients who are allergic to eggs, milk, etc., or have food preferences such as being vegan. Was it this? It was from a poster called “bunny” from the YouTube video on the cake. ![]()
