Me again- I just clicked on the Cake Pan Cake link above and guess what? That is the Wacky Cake recipe I was referring to before! Only difference is my grandmother baked it in a 9x13 pan. When it came out of the oven, she poked holes in the cake with a fork and poured the icing (also still warm) onto the cake, forcing it into the holes. Now I will definitely try it using the above icing recipe! (btw my grandmother was a Rosie The Riveter during WWII and this cake was called "wacky" because it was mixed and made in the pan, called for vinegar and used no eggs.) Great idea, Nancy - I've made "poke cake" before, but never a chocolate version! I'm going for it next time... And yes, this is definitely a WWII recipe - and these days, ideal for vegans! PJH
