One Pan Cake

This recipe was adapted from a recipe in Hannaford’s fresh magazine, July/August 2019 issue, called Mema’s Wacky Cake. I cut down on the sugar and swapped out vegetable oil for applesauce. I also used Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 Baking Flour to make it gluten free.

1 1/2 cups flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 Tbs vanilla extract
1 Tbs white vinegar
6 Tbs applesauce
1 cup cold water
Vanilla frosting or whipped cream for topping

Preheat oven to 350.
In an 8″ square baking pan, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder and baking soda.
Make one large hole and two smaller holes in the dry ingredients. In one small hole, pour the vanilla. In the other small hole, pour the vinegar. In the large hole, add the applesauce. Pour water over the top and mix with a fork until well blended.
Bake for 25 – 30 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes. Cut into squares.
Top with frosting or whipped cream before serving.

1 cup (7 ounces) caramel bits
2 tablespoons water
1/2 cup M & M’s
2 cups rice crispies cereal
4 chocolate bark baking squares or 3 cups chocolate chips
1 teaspoon coconut oil, butter or shortening

Cover 2 large cookie sheets with wax paper.
In a saucepan, add the caramels and water. Stir until the caramel is melted. Reduce heat and add the rice crispies and M & M’s. Mix well. Drop by teaspoons onto the baking sheets. When they are cooled, melt the chocolate squares and coconut oil/shortening in the microwave. Dip each candy piece into the chocolate, covering all sides. Put back on the baking sheet and refrigerate until set.

This recipe made about 30 candies, so double it if you need more, which you will because they are so good.
