VANILLA CRAZY CAKE
I’ve got the craziest recipe for you guys today! But I suppose you already knew that from the title, didn’t you? Vanilla Crazy Cake – also known as Wacky Cake or Depression Cake, doesn’t need dairy or eggs to make them. In fact, you don’t even need to get a separate bowl dirty – you can make it right in the pan! These cakes became popular during the Great Depression when eggs and dairy products were expensive and hard to come by. Nowadays, they’re great for people with food allergies, and everyone will love them!
Make 3 depressions in the dry ingredients – two small and one large. Pour the vinegar and vanilla in each of the two smaller depressions, and the vegetable oil in the large one.
