Miss B. Skilling Presents My Favourite Recipe (Crazy Cake) A name like this indicates a certain peculiarity about the recipe, but what it is was not indicated when it was submitted for publication. We suspect it is the method, not the result that prompted the name. All you can do is try it out, standing back to avoid explosions, and see for yourself. 1 cup sugar 1 egg ½ cup milk ½ cup cocoa ½ cup shortening ½ teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon baking powder ½ teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon vanilla 1½ cups flour ½ cup boiling water Put all ingredients in a bowl in order given but do not mix until boiling water is added. Then beat for three minutes. Put in a nine inch greased pan and bake at 325 degrees for 30 minutes or until done.
