Chocolate Cake in Minutes . . .

Okay, it won't be baked in minutes but you can have this dessert in the oven quickly to bake while you go on with your other meal chores.

Chocolate Cake in Minutes
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1/2 cup baking cocoa
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup hot water

Combine all the ingredient in a mixing bowl and whisk to form a smooth batter. Spread into an 8x8-inch baking pan and bake in preheated 350 degree oven for approximately 25 minutes or until top springs back when gently touched.

Ideas . . .
-Serve warm with vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce.
-Cool thoroughly and frost your your favorite homemade or store-bought icing.
-Scatter white and chocolate chips over the top of the cake when it comes out of the oven. When they melt, gently swirl to form a marbled icing.
