Easy Bake oven Chocolate cake

I don't know about all of you, but I have a little girl that LOVES to bake. So it only made sense that Santa brought her an Easy Bake Oven for Christmas. I was so excited when I saw what Santa choose, until I went to the store to buy "Mixes". WHAT A RIP! They want $5.69 for enough cake batter for two (Very small) cake pans. NOT! So to the web I went.... and I did find, oh yes... so here is the first, there will be more to come.

WARNING: THIS CAKE WILL PROBABLY ONLY TASTE GOOD TO LITTLE PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE :)

Easy Bake Oven Recipe
Children's Chocolate Cake Mix
1 cup sugar
3 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup vegetable shortening

In a medium bowl, combine sugar, cocoa powder, flour, baking soda and salt. Stir with a wire whisk until blended. With a pastry blender, cut in shortening until evenly distributed and mixture resembles corn meal. Spoon about 1/3 cup of the mixture into each of 11 small containers with tight fitting lids or ziplock bags. Seal containers. Label with date and contents. Store in a cool dry place. Use within 12 weeks. Makes 11 packages of Children's Chocolate Cake Mix for Easy Bake Style Oven.

To Use:
1 package cake mix
4 teaspoons water

Mix together and stir with a fork or spoon until blended and smooth. Pour mixture into greased and floured 4 inch round miniature baking pan. Follow directions for child's oven, or bake in Mom's preheated 375° oven for 12 to 13 minutes. Remove from oven and cool in pan on a rack for 5 minutes. Invert onto a small plate and remove pan. When cool, frost with Children's Chocolate Frosting. Serves 2 children.
