Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 c flour
1 c sugar
1/2 c cocoa, unsweetened
1/4 tsp salt (don't heap this, use a scant 1/4 tsp.)
2 tsp baking soda
COMBINE THE ABOVE INGREDIENTS IN A SIFTER AND SIFT IT ALL AT ONCE INTO A MIXING BOWL
THEN ADD
1 c miracle whip
1 c cold water
1 tsp vanilla

Steps:

  • 1. When all the ingredients are mixed together, stir well. Do not over beat.
  • 2. Pour into a buttered and floured cake pan. You can use 2 small round pans or an 8 x 10. If you use a dark glass pan, watch the heat.
  • 3. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until done. Don't be tempted to overcook this cake, and don't poke it unless you think it is about done or it will fall. Let cool completely before frosting. I put it in the freezer for several hours before frosting. If you use the fudge frosting, make sure the cake is back to about room temperature before you pour the frosting on.
  • 4. We like it best served chilled.

This recipe has been in my family forever. I grew up on it and has always been my favorite. It came from the time when eggs were not readily available. People are put off by the idea of "salad dressing" or Miracle Whip in a cake, but it is so moist and delicious! I tend to make this in two 9" round pans.

PERFECT SEVEN-MINUTE FROSTING



Perfect Seven-Minute Frosting image

This cake frosting is named for the length of time it must be beaten in the final stage.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Yield Makes about 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 3

3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
3 large egg whites, room temperature

Steps:

  • In a small, heavy-bottom saucepan, combine 3/4 cup sugar, corn syrup, and 4 tablespoons water. Place over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar has dissolved, about 4 minutes. Rub a bit of the mixture between your fingers, making sure any graininess has disappeared. Raise heat, and bring to a boil without stirring. Continue boiling, occasionally washing down the sides of the pan with a pastry brush dipped in cold water to prevent sugar from crystallizing, until a candy thermometer registers 230 degrees, about 5 minutes. (Depending on the humidity, this can take anywhere from 4 to 10 minutes.) Remove the syrup from heat (temperature will keep rising).
  • Meanwhile, in the bowl of an electric mixer, whisk the egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 2 1/2 minutes. Gradually add remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. With mixer on medium-low speed, pour syrup in a steady stream down side of bowl (to avoid splattering).
  • Beat the frosting on high speed until cool, about seven minutes. It should be thick and shiny. Use immediately.
