Wacky Cake has no eggs, no milk, no butter...and is mixed and baked in the same pan. How easy is that?
Wacky Cake
1 1/2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
3 tbsp. cocoa
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking powder
5 tbsp. vegetable oil
1 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup water
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix dry ingredients in an ungreased 8x8 baker. Make three holes in the mixture. Pour the oil in one hole, the vinegar in the second hole, and the vanilla in the third hole. Pour water over everything and mix. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. When cool, dust with powdered sugar, top with icing, or leave plain.
Growing up, my mom made this cake for us all the time. Sometimes called Depression Cake, it is said that someone during the Great Depression figured out how to make a moist, delicious cake without eggs, butter, or milk as these ingredients were difficult to get.
