    by Eric · This post may contain affiliate links, its one way we pay the bills. · 1 Comment

    Screwball cake is one of those formative things in the life of Eric. It was one of the first recipes I ever made as a kid. This screwball cake recipe is close to what I remember making, but i'm sure time has clouded that memory.

    Anyway, watch our show and learn how to make screwball cake and enjoy the recipe.

    1 teaspoon Salt

    2 teaspoon Soda

    It was great! FYI to all, I divided the recipe in half and made a smaller cake and it turned out just fine. It's moist and rich, but it's not too overwhelming. The frosting worked out really well, too. Here's the recipe if any are interested:

    2 c. confectioners sugar

    ¼ c. shortening

    ¼ c. butter (½ stick)

    1 tb. water

    1 tb. corn syrup

    1 tsp. vanilla

    dash of salt

    Combine all with an electric mixer on low speed, then increase speed to medium and beat for 5 minutes.

    This is a light, fluffy icing that goes well with a rich cake. But, I think vanilla ice cream on just a plain piece of screwball cake would be great too.
