Wacky cake is one-pot cake recipe dating back to the 1930’s or 40’s. The premise for its wackiness is the non-use of butter, eggs and milk to bake the cake. Apparently this was a popular recipe during World War II due to rationing of those ingredients. Everything can be mixed together in the pan, using only a fork. My sister iced this cake with dark chocolate and vanilla buttercream. So much for the lack of ingredients.
Ingredients:
- 1½ cups (213 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (198) granulated sugar
- 4 rounded tablespoons (22 grams) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon white or cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 cup (240 ml) water
Methods:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Mix all ingredients well with a fork either in a bowl or in the pan you plan to bake in. Bake in a greased 9"x 9" pan for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick placed in the centre of the cake comes out clean.
