What's for dessert?

Double Chocolate Snack Cake & Lemon Bars

Double Chocolate Snack Cake ~  Here's the worn out page.           Heat oven to 350 degrees.

You'll need:  1-2/3 C. all purpose flour

1 C. packed light brown sugar

1/4 C. baking cocoa powder, 1 teas. baking soda

1 teas. salt

1 C. water

1/3 C. vegetable oil

1 teas. vinegar

3/4 teas. vanilla extract

1/2 C. semi-sweet chocolate chips

Lightly coat your 8x8x2 in. square pan with cooking spray.  (I don't bother to use flour).  In small mixing bowl combine flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda and salt.

Add in water, oil, vinegar and vanilla; beat until smooth.  Pour into prepared pan.

Sprinkle chocolate chips over top.   Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.   Cool in pan on wire rack.  Cut into squares.  Makes 6 to 8 servings.     We like to wrap each square individually in plastic wrap and place into a zip lock bag and put into the freezer.   We bring them out to eat on a warm day.   Notice this recipe does not call for eggs.

*The recipes will change out often.

More to be added later. ;)

** Okay,  here is another recipe for  dessert.   I'm not a "lemon" person.  Chocolate is my favorite.    I do like apple pie.  But little else.  ;)    For those that love lemon this recipe is for you!  :)
