Crazy Cake: Not my recipe. Try this out in the red Weavertown Cookbook or google online for similar "wacky cake" recipes. Here's what I did!
Dry Ingredients:
3 c. flour
6 tbsp. cocoa
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
2 c. sugar
Wet Ingredients:
3 tbsp. oil
1 tbsp. vinegar
1 tbsp. vanilla
2 c. water
Mix together dry ingredients right in an ungreased 9x13 pan. (I mixed mine in a separate bowl and then transferred to two 8 inch round pans-- greased and floured, and 12 cupcake liners.)
Make 5 holes in dry ingredients. Pour oil into 3 of the holes. Pour vinegar in one whole, and vanilla in the last whole. Pour the water over the entire mixtures and stir with a fork until well blended.
Bake at 350° for 45 minutes. Or if you're doing small cake pans, watch carefully and remove when toothpick comes out clean.

Your cake looks great! I just wanted to give you a tip. If you have a chocolate cake and dust your cake pan with cocoa powder instead of flour, you won't get white residue on your cake. Someone gave me that tip once and I've done it ever since.

Oh wow! I’m really late with this but what a great tip! I’ll have to try!
It's just so wonderful how you interact with your kids. You and Josh, going camping, stimulating their minds. Thank you guys for being responsible, loving parents. Seems like a dumb thing to say but it should be highlighted more in today's world. Also I'm going on vacation this week and the prep is brutal. Lol. So I'm right there with you preparing everything.
I have to roll my eyes on the fact that you sadly have to defend drinking coffee while pregnant.

Yes!! Enjoy the coffee while you are pregnant! I drank coffee with my pregnancies whenever.
Watching Evonnie dip her burger in the salad dressing reminded me of my oldest son. He dips “ALL” of his sandwiches in ketchup! I thought he would grow out of it but he is 51 years old and still has this habit. I asked him one time if he did that when he went out to lunch with a business associate and he said “you know, I guess I do”. He went on to say that he had done it for over 40 years and he just did it without thinking. I found it humerus and thought to myself, well I guess we all have our “habits”.

I love dipping hot sandwiches. The one at Arby's is the best. I haven't eaten there in years.
I’ve been binge watching and finally caught up. Watched a man who traveled to various places and spent the day with Mennonites. One of your vlogs was listed. Thought I’d take a look and been enjoying your vlogs ever since. Whether your vlogs are planned or not - they are all interesting and fun to watch. Looked like a fun camping trip! Loved the food - delicious!
I have a chocolate cake recipe similar to the one you showed. When my girls were in high school they would make one and eat it after school before I got home from work. I caught on to this little trick when it seemed Hershey cocoa was on the shopping list every week! They were good cleaner uppers….. but they finished it and never saved me a piece….. probably how they got away with it so long! Loved watching your camping trip and making so many things over the fire. 😀

That is hilarious! My brother used to get a piece of bread and put butter on it, pop it in the microwave, and then sprinkle sugar on it and he would always make two pieces (one for me). I think this was our version of this.
I’m loving these frequent vlogs! I know baby is on the way so no pressure! Big hug to you!
The way you interact and go that extra step with your kids is so sweet and encouraging ❤️
Hi Megan . Thank you for letting us be a part of evonnies birthday party. The bike you got her has just the perfect combo of colors that you all like. Happy 4Th Birthday Evonnie. so proud of you.
Looks like a great time.We used to camp all the time when our kids were little.I think all kids should have that experience.We don't watch football.We weren't ever big fans but when they started all the kneeling and stuff like that we don't pay any attention to it anymore.
So love all your videos! I’m so happy that you invite us along. Both the more structured and vlog style are wonderful. Both give us the feeling that we’re just getting a chance to hang out with a good friend ❤️
Megan, I love EVERYTHING you post! If you make it and post it we WILL watch so just keep making what you make because we love it!!! Thank you so much for making these videos.
You are the BEST Mom! You know your proprieties and your kids are going to have MANY precious memories. This blog reminded me of our family camping. I just loved it and especially bringing a little home with us on the trip! I noticed the cloth tablecloth on the picnic table! I did the same thing! Love your videos that include the kids. ❤️❤️❤️
I enjoy and appreciate the variety of vlogs that you share. Some vloggers put out the same kind of content, and while I enjoy the people, it sometimes gets boring… not yours because it’s often something different. Thank you!!
Megan you are literally the BEST mom and I smile from ear to ear while watching your videos. ♥
Love the frequent every day life videos! Also love getting recipe ideas from you, it’s just one of the many things I enjoy most about your videos 😊
I feel like I’ve been camping for the weekend! So relaxing! Thanks for sharing Megan♥️
What a fun camping trip!! And Evonnie and Fletcher are just precious! ❤️
Just watching old fall vlogs… they’re just comforting lol
My children are now 27 and 24 and I have such fond memories of going on family camping trips with our pop up camper. Enjoy every minute and soak up the memories. You do such a good job with your children! Motherhood is a blessing ♥️
Hi Megan, love your videos knowing your focus is on younger mothers and family life. I am 67 years old and I enjoy your family life and the children. I also find you can learn something new no matter what age you are. Saying that you try to live an intentional life and being ambitious inspires me as well. I think I will be picking up many of those books you are reading. Thank you for such encouraging videos.
Love these videos with this and that things. Looks like you had some great family time. You're truly blessed.
I personally loved this style of vlog! Thank you for sharing your life with us. I would literally watch any content you put out 🥰
I COMPLETELY AGREE BACON MAKES EVERYTHING BETTER!!! I love this video and throwing in different bits. Absolutely love Evonnie's reaction to her cake and her new bike with the flowers and butterflies
I just had to say how much I loved this video! It was such a fun & unique experience. I am so encouraged by your desire to serve and treasure your blessing of being a mother!
Wow Megan, you make camping with kids look easy! Looks like a wonderful time!
Loved this vlog. Amazing energy you have for your family and for making special moments for them. I can’t imagine the organisation needed to get all the stuff for food, activities , birthday party etc on top of the normal camping gear. The first scene in the camper with the wind blowing made me feel so cosy and loved the stone painting and apple tasting. Totally going to borrow those ideas! Was exhausted for you as you headed home to all that unpacking. Supermomma! Hope it didn’t take too long…. Best wishes from the UK.
Lots of fun camping with little ones. Lots of work for mom and dad but the kids will always remember these fun times
You guys are too too cute!! I absolutely love that your brought two coolers of water and used your bottles instead of plastic!! WTG!! Every little bit helps!! :)
I think I needed this fun vlog. I love this style. It's a small vacation from the to-do lists and keeping up.
Evonne was so adorable to see. I am still smiling from that birthday party scene.
This was super fun and cute to watch, loved it!
These are my favorite types of vlogs!
Love how the kids used the picnic bench as their table. And it was fun to see the Jiffy Mix; those are made a few miles from where I live in Michigan
Your family is very lucky Megan you're full of energy & enthusiasm for all the things! The games, the flowers, the food all extra even IN THE Woods LOL. This was a fun vlog. 👍💝
I really enjoyed going along on your camping trip! What a great weekend filled with simple fun! Fall camping sounds ideal.
I always enjoy your content! Casual, planned, whatever ☺️ i work full time from home for now, and I enjoy living vicariously through your adventures 💗 my days all look very similar in this season of life.
Love everything you post !!! This was an awesome vlog. Cheers Megan and Happy Birthday to Evonne!

Megan you amaze me! You are a wonderful mom and it was so fun “going camping” with you happy birthday Vonnie
Loved this vlog!!! Your enthusiasm in all is contagious.A suggestion when kids are napping is o join them and take a power nap.Your body will love you and you will recharge. Cant wait to try your chocolate cake recipe. Think ill add some instant coffee granules to deepen chocolate flavor!! The children are adorable and they have the most beautiful eyes!
Loved this vlog so much! Thank you for sharing. I love camping!
Awww! Evonnie is growing up so fast! What a little princess!!
I really loved this vlog. The way you mother your children is so precious. Cant wait to see the next gift from God. Take care the time is quickly passing before your new son will be here. Love, love your vlog....
Loved this vlog, I loved caravan holidays when I was a child, I used to love the sound of rain on the roof.
New name suggestion Bently Morgan Fox.. Looks like a fun filled weekend filled with family, friends and food! Everything tastes better cooked outside. Your absolutely glowing, your such a beautiful person.
Pieced together vids are the best. Keeps my attention. I was born in Columbia have seen Pa. Since I was 10 love seeing when you travel around or even go to the shops
Each time i watch your vlogs, i think it’s my favorite, then the next one is just as great. ❤️ love your little family. Your recipes snd ideas.
I wondered about that gift when you asked Fletcher if he wanted to ride Evonnie's bike. Thanks for taking us along on your camping weekend. It's fun to see what others do when camping.
I just met you in a local café and you are as sweet and wonderful as you are on here! I’ve been following you for over 2 years now and I love your videos ❤️❤️
Woo-hoo loved the piece together post!!! Great job !!! Keep the good stuff coming & Happy for You too
Happy birthday Evonne! Looks like lots of fun on your camping trips!
Wow your camping trip took me back to when my children were young. We had a trailer and spent a lot of our summers camping. Such great memories you are making. Your coffee set up was the same way I would do it too! Nothing like a quiet morning camping sitting outside reading and having a yummy coffee. I love watching your precious family and your lifestyle. I hope to make a visit to Lancaster one of these days. ❤️❤️❤️
Your videos are so relaxing and motivating to watch. I especially loved this video! You are truly inspiring! Thanks for sharing your life with us. :)
Such a sweet family. Blessings and Happy Birthday Vonnie. 🎂🎈🙋
I so enjoyed this video. I would like more like these. I think it packs more into a video this was. Your children are so cute together. Bonnie is so attentive to Fletcher. Happy Birthday Vonnie 💘
You’re the cutest little mommy!Great fun activities for the kiddos and loads of delicious camping dishes!! ❣️❣️❣️
Binge watching to catch up after not having internet for a month... I just love the casual vlogs so if those are easiest for you to film then I say go for it!
Neat trick with the napkins. Love how you made the cinnamon rolls.
I love watching your videos.! And your camping trip looked like so much fun!
oh Megan I have a special book bag that i load up with my books when I camp as well! A Happy and Blessed Birthday to Evonnie have a lovely weekend !
Happy birthday, Evonnie!!!
I just recently found you and I love watching you and your family doing your best life❣️
I watch all your videos and this was the best. I love everything about it.
What a fun relaxing time!! Hugs from Missouri 🤗Happy Birthday sweet girl!! Real life is best!!
Fun video...my family was a camping family but we only did tents and even though I have fond memories of swimming in the creek and lake, cooking on and sitting around the campfire, nature walks etc...I'm not much of a camper now unless it's with a camper and lots of the luxuries from home!! Thanks for sharing all your adventures...praying for you in these last few weeks of pregnancy!!
I totally agree that salsa makes everything better!!! Fun video!!
Loved this peek into your life! Thank you for sharing!
i LOVE your mommy and wife style, as is your relationship with them. your video very inspiring to me and gave me great ideas thank you ❤ my kiddos are 7 weeks and 3 years. i cant wait to take them camping in the future 😁
Really enjoyed this style vlog Megan! Happy Belated Birthday Vonnie, hard to believe she’s already 4!! It was beautiful where you all went camping! Sending love & prayers 🥰❤️🙏🏻❌⭕️

Awe happy birthday sweet girl! Megan, you are doing a beautiful job taking care of yourself and your little bun in the oven! Not sure why people need to act like a Dr and tell you what you can/can't do. You're grown woman and pretty sure you know what you are doing (this is your 3rd baby). Enjoy your cup o Joe and yes moderation totally is the key, to everything really 😉
What a sweet, thoughtful mama you are!
Enjoyed this vlog alot!! Fun enjoying your adventures with you! Happy Birthday!!
WHAT A GOOD MOMY YOU ARE!!!! GOD BLESS ALL❤
Thanks for taking us along on your camping trip. Love the scenery. Happy birthday to Evonne! 🥳🎂 Now I’m wanting some chocolate cake!! Take care and God bless your sweet family. ♥️
Great video, camping is always a great time, being out in nature. Glade she had a Happy Birthday out in the open. 👍❤️🦋🎂🎉
Oh man, the music and scenery in the first few seconds!! ❤️❤️❤️
We love our camper! We’ve made the best memories with our four kids over the years 💕~Christy
I LOVED this vlog! Something a little different!

This is my fave vlog of yours. Love love love to see how creative you are with the kids and also so can relate to that stack of books lol 😂❤️
Love love love this style of vlog
Greetings from Scotland. Really enjoyed this vlog and am so impressed that the birthday cake and cupcakes arrived onsite safely 🤣. What a lovely wee birthday party in the countryside. 🤗🍂🎂
Love you the way you are. Thankyou for blessing us.
🤗 Glad everyone had a good time!
Awesome video, Megan! Your videos make me want to get going to clean, decorate, cook, and just do all the things that make me feel good. One tip… I thought you may like to look into agave nectar as a different kind of sweetener for your iced coffees if you want to change them up some time. It doesn’t have a particular flavor per say but just a lighter sweet syrup. I use it in my iced coffee with some half and half and that’s all I need. Thanks again for great quality videos! 🙂
Your videos are so much fun to watch!
We always made fruit and cream pies with the mountain pie irons. We just used regular bread buttered and laid in them. Sugar when they are browned. We also always had a night of pizzas. We just always used a loaf of bread for the crusts. All our ingredients are cooked just need to get hot and the bread browned. Banana boats are yummy too and the kids love them. Then the hobo packets. As the kids got older they could make them. Then of course adults were in charge of the cooking. My boys are adults now and they still talk about our family camping trips.
We used to go camping with our 3 kids a lot. Brings back so many memories for me! Thanks for sharing your life and family with us.
My husband and I have thought of getting a small camper for "easy" vacas with our 3 babies. This was very inspiring! When I saw those flowers 💐 I thought OF COURSE you would! I love it!
Not being able to apologize is pride. I'm working on it. Happy Birthday! sweet Evonnie.

And trust. When you’re in a relationship that you can trust the other person, it’s easier to apologize.
