Crazy Cake

This is a crazy cake because you mix the cake all together in the pan in which you bake it. Pour contents of jar into a 9 x 13 inch baking pan, then add the following ingredients:
3/4 cup Vegetable Oil
2 tsp. Vinegar
1 tsp. Vanilla
2 cups Water

Stir cake ingredients together using a wire whisk or fork, making certain that all ingredients are completely mixed together. Bake at 350 degrees F for 35 minutes. Frost as desired, or serve sprinkled with powdered sugar, with fresh fruit on the side. copyright 1999, Kaylin Cherry/Real Food for Real People
