CHOCOLATE CRAZY CAKE RECIPE (NO EGGS, MILK, BUTTER OR BOWLS)
From: Mary @ www.sweetlittlebluebird.com/
I made this cake for my oldest daughter's Sweet 16 last week. Everyone got to eat cake, even our little one with the egg allergy. That makes my heart happy.
I did a little research on Crazy and Wacky Cake recipes. These cakes were created during the Great Depression, when eggs, milk and butter were very hard to come by. The cakes are also known as Depression Cakes. I remember my favorite childhood Depression sandwich my grandparents made. People were pretty resourceful during those hard times. It took some creativity and baking science to create a cake without eggs or butter. You don't even need a mixer. Genius!
Ingredients
1 1/2 Cups all-purpose flour
3 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa
1 Cup Granulated Pure Cane Sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. white vinegar
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
5 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1 Cup water
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Mix first 5 dry ingredients in a greased 8" square baking pan.
Make 3 depressions in dry ingredients - two small, one larger (see #3 in photo on site).
Pour vinegar in one depression, vanilla in the other and the vegetable oil in third larger depression.
Pour water over all.
Mix well until smooth
Bake on middle rack of oven for 35 minutes.
Check with toothpick to make sure it comes out clean.
Cool.
Top with your favorite frosting.
Enjoy!
Note: Oven baking times may vary, be sure to check your cake to make sure you do not over bake.
