I started this blog so my daughters could find all of our family favourite recipes in one place. It has actually grown into more than just the family favourites but also other recipes we've tried out in our kitchen. I don't like to fill up the post with alot of chatter. Sometimes there's a little story to tell, but usually I like to get right to the point. So this is for them, but hope you find some recipes that you like as well. I'll be sharing a lot of recipes, and along the way you'll find some crafty things and maybe some helpful hints too! Welcome!

Depression Cake

Originally developed during the Great Depression because of it's affordability since milk, eggs and butter were hard to get. Not only is it a great budget dessert but it's also a good dessert for people with allergy issues.

1  1/2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup cocoa
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda

 1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp white vinegar
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 cup water

 Frosting:
2 tbsps margarine
1/4 cup cocoa
1 cup icing sugar
1 tbsp milk
1/4 tsp vanilla

 Combine flour, sugar, cocoa, salt and baking soda and set aside.

 Mix vanilla, white vinegar, oil and water together then combine with the dry ingredients.

 Pour into a parchment lined 8 X 8" baking pan. 
Bake at 350 F for 30-35 minutes.

Cool in the pan then turn out and peel off the parchment.

 Melt margarine in a saucepan then stir in the cocoa. Then in a mixer bowl combine with the icing sugar, milk and vanilla. Beat for 5 minutes.

Spread the love and enjoy!
