It’s “wacky” because unlike traditional cakes, it’s made without eggs, milk or butter. What Is Wacky Cake? This soft, moist and chocolaty recipe has been around since the 1930s, and was still popular a decade later, when food staples like butter and dairy were rationed during World War II.
When fresh berries are available, spoon them over a slice of Wacky Cake topped with fresh whipped cream. Or, serve slices with scoops of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of hot fudge for Wacky Cake a la mode.
Over time, people have tweaked this recipe even further and made numerous wacky cake recipe variations such as vanilla depression cake/vanilla wacky cake or lemon depression cake. I have even seen depression cake cupcakes/wacky cake cupcakes and depression cake in a mug that’s made in the microwave.
There are a variety of cake flavors I’ve created, adapting them from the original chocolate recipe. Click on the recipe you like and it will take you to the post for the recipe.
