Hi Phaedrus
Thank you for taking the time. I knew it was a long shot.
Do you have the recipe for "cock-eyed cake"? It's an eggless chocolate
cake recipe where you place the dry ingredients in the baking container,
form 3 wells and add vinegar, melted butter and vanilla essence into each
well respectively.
I'd be very glad if you could track that one down but sorry I won't be able
to offer you a slice here down in NZ!
cheers
Honora
Hi Honora,
Now that one, I found. It just uses oil instead of butter. See below.
Well, I'll just have to imagine having a slice with you.

Cockeyed Cake
Ingredients :
1 1/2 c. sifted flour
3 tbsp. cocoa
1 tsp. soda
1 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
5 tbsp. cooking oil
1 tbsp. vinegar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 c. cold water
Preparation :
Put your sifted flour back into the sifter, add it to the cocoa,
soda, sugar and salt and sift this right into a greased square cake
pan about 9x9x2 inches. Now make three holes in the dry mixture.
Into one, pour the oil; into the next, the vinegar; into the next,
the vanilla. Now pour the cold water over it all. Beat it with a
spoon until it is nearly smooth and you can't see the flour. Bake
at 350 degrees for half an hour.
