Wacky Cake

May 25, 2015 by Maureen Lucas Leave a Comment

Wacky Cake

This is called “Wacky Cake” because it sounds pretty wacky to put oil and vinegar in a cake.  That said it is great for vegetarians as well as vegan’s, as it contains no butter or eggs yet it is incredibly rich and moist.  It is super easy to make and all you need is a bowl, whisk and a pan to bake it in.  The batter will be very thin and once mixed, just pour it into an ungreased pan and bake.  The simplicity of this recipe makes it great to prepare with your kids or grandkids.  You can sprinkle powdered sugar on top or better yet top it with my Mom’s Chocolate Frosting.
