I grew up with this recipe. When the chickens were not producing eggs, this is the cake my mom baked. It has no eggs and no butter and no milk and that is why it’s called Wacky, but it is oh so yummy.
You won’t be messing up a bowl or your mixer for this one. All you need is a 9 by 12 pan, a spatula and your measuring cups and spoons.
Mix up all the dry ingredients in your 9 by 12 pan. While you are mixing them go ahead and preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Now make 3 holes in your dry ingredients 2 small and one large. Pour in the vinegar in one, the vanilla in another, and in the large one the oil.
Then pour 2 cups of warm water over it all, and stir it all up until it is well mixed. Make sure to really get into the corners of the pan. Then place it in the oven for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
This will be the end result. Which is yummy by itself BUT……
It is even better with my chocolate truffle icing or for a vegan friendly icing you could trythis recipe that uses coconut milk.
This recipe also makes 12 delicious giant cupcakes!
