Our favorite has long been the Wacky Cake, a wartime recipe for when milk and eggs were unavailable. It's as good as I remember Duncan Hines mix being, and very easy to make: Wacky Cake 1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour 1 cup sugar 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 tablespoon vinegar 6 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 cup cold water In a large mixing bowl, mix flour, sugar, cocoa, soda and salt. Make three wells in the flour mixture. In one put vanilla; in another the vinegar, and in the third the oil. Pour the cold water over the mixture and stir until moistened. Pour into 8 x 8-inch pan. Bake at 350°F. oven until it springs back when touched lightly. > To all those parents out there that have depended on duncan hines cake mixes > over the years..I've successfully used the mixes for the last 7 years.
