Crazy Cakes, also known as Depression or Wacky Cakes

*You can use gluten free flour, ** it’s okay if some spills out

These cakes were popular during The Great Depression when dairy products and eggs were expensive and hard to get.

I love this recipe because as a teen who loves to bake, I have to clean my baking dishes, and the butter dishes and batter bowls are always the worst. But guess what!? This yummy cake needs no butter AND no bowls!! AND there’s another surprise, its allergy friendly!

When I first made this cake, I couldn’t believe how good and moist this cake was, now it’s my go to recipe!
