Game Day Cupcake Supplies at Ben Franklin!
Here is a great treat to make for Super Bowl Sunday, a football themed birthday party, or any other event that calls for a bit of chocolate cake! Our family calls this the Crazy Cake Recipe, and since it does not have eggs or dairy, it is a great cake for people with allergies. Once you try this recipe it will become a family favorite for you, too.

Mix with a whisk or fork. Then add the vinegar to the cake mix. Stir. Pour batter into cupcake liners in a cupcake pan. Bake until wooden pick inserted into center comes out clean; approximately 15 – 25 minutes depending on your oven style. Let cool.
