To celebrate the end of Chemistry Week (and today's success!)

Hi {NAME}, This morning, I was worried we'd fall short of our goal, but I should have known better. This team is powerful -- and wow, you all showed up for us today. We hit our goal about an hour ago. If you were one of the hundreds of people who gave over the past couple of days: THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. You are the catalyst of this campaign! It means so much to have you with me and my team. Today is the last day of National Chemistry Week, and to celebrate, I wanted to share one of my favorite fast and easy recipes with you (see below), so you can do some chemistry at home. My husband’s family calls this “Sludge Cake,” and it’s a great recipe to bake with kids. The chemistry lesson is all about how the baking soda and vinegar combine to make carbon dioxide, which gives the cake its bubbles. Let me know how it goes -- and please send along a note letting me know you gave it a try, or some photos if you'd like. Thank you again for being part of our campaign. With gratitude, Nancy [CONTRIBUTE]( Cake-Pan Cake (or Sludge Cake) 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour 1 cup sugar ¼ cup cocoa ½ teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla 1 Tablespoon vinegar ⅓ cup vegetable oil 1 cup milk or water Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix flour, sugar, cocoa, and salt together with a fork or whisk until evenly combined. Then pour into an 8” or 9” cake pan (pyrex or other pans without non-stick coatings work best, as this recipe requires mixing in the pan). Hollow out three indentations in the powdery mix large enough to contain the vanilla, vinegar, and vegetable oil respectively. Pour the vanilla extract into one hole, add the vinegar to the second hole, and then the vegetable oil to the third hole. Pour the water or milk over everything in the pan, and mix everything together with the fork or whisk until well blended. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Slice and enjoy!
