Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In an 8X8 square pan/dish, mix together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, and salt with a fork, making sure it is really blended together. Add the water, vanilla, oil, and vinegar, and again, mix together so that it's really blended together. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides if necessary.
Bake!
Place in oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until a knife comes out clean. Cool on a rack completely (2 hours).
If doing cupcakes, bake 15 mins. Cool completely before frosting. (Makes 1 dozen)
NOTE: The amount of topping is enormous compared to the cake. I didn’t even use it all! You could pile it on or just make about 1/2 - 2/3 of what the recipe calls for. Totally your call!

Recipe this week: Grilled Herbed Shrimp with Mango Salsa
Super jumbo shrimp and grills them on skewers. I do 2 lbs at a time time, marinate for a few hours, and then grill in a grill basket and serve either hot or cold as an appetizer with mango salsa as a dipping sauce. This is an absolute keeper.
Recipe this week: Peach and Honey Whipped Ricotta Crostini
Ingredients:
1 Baguette
1 1/2 cups Whole Milk Ricotta
1/4 cup Honey
fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
1/8 teaspoon Salt (and more for seasoning)
Balsamic Reduction (store bought)
1 ounce Fresh Basil for Garnish
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 F
Cut your baguette into 1/4 inch slices. Lay bread slices flat on a baking sheet and spray (or brush) with oil. Season the slices with just a bit of salt. Toast in the pre-heated oven for 8 minutes
Combine the Ricotta, Honey, and Salt in a food processor (with a blade attachment) or high power blender. Pulse until just combined. You don’t want to over mix the ricotta or it will become runny and fall through any air holes in your crostini
Once your crostini has cooled, top them with a dollop of the ricotta mixture, a peach slice, and a basil leaf. Place crostini on a tray and drizzle with balsamic reduction
