lazy town – cooking bookThis icing/frosting is rich and yummy and is better served at room temperature. Once chilled it becomes hard and fudge like. It is a great base for black icing for decorating, the strong fudge flavor over powers the black paste coloring.

Add black color paste if desired. Spread onto your favorite cake. Makes about 4 cups of icing. Can be stored in refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

2. Make three deep holes in the dry mixture. Into one, pour the oil, into the next, pour the vinegar into the next, pour the vanilla.

3. Pour the water into the bowl, over all of this— making a great big mess.

4. Mix the wet and dry ingredients together until there aren’t any more lumps and pour into a 9 inch by 9 inch baking pan, two inches deep, it doesn’t even have to be greased.

5. Bake at 350 degress Fahrenheit for about half an hour, test with a fork.

Enjoy this delicious cake.  You will be surprised at its moistness and richness!!!!!  It can be cooled and iced with your choice of icing or can be enjoyed on its own.  The batter can also be used to make cupcakes!!  As you can see above!
