How to Make Crazy Cake With Two Icings
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In the prepared pan, combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ cups sugar, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt. Stir well to combine.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup water, 2 tablespoons white vinegar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients in the pan.
- Pour ½ cup vegetable oil evenly over the batter.
- Using a fork, gently stir until just combined. Don't overmix!
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.
- **Icing #1:**
- In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, whisk together ¼ cup all-purpose flour and 1 cup milk until thickened (about 5 minutes).
- Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
- In a mixing bowl, beat ½ cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter and 1 cup powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add the cooled flour mixture to the butter mixture, beating until smooth and fluffy.
- Frost the cooled cake with Icing #1.
- **Icing #2:**
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter, ¼ cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 tablespoons milk, and a pinch of salt.
- Stir until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Cook for 1 minute, without stirring.
- Remove from heat, stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and beat until slightly thickened.
- Transfer Icing #2 to a squeeze bottle and drizzle over the frosted cake.
