Chocolate Depression Cake
This chocolate depression cake is also known as chocolate wacky crazy cake or chocolate crazy cake. Like the chocolate surprise cake, it doesn’t include any dairy products, eggs, or butter. Instead of eggs, baking soda and vinegar are used to make the cake rise, which might seem quite unconventional!
The term "depression" in this cake's name refers to the Great Depression, not "this cake will cure your depression." During the Great Depression, many ingredients were scarce, leading to the creation of recipes like this one. This unique chocolate cake goes by several names: Wacky Cake, Crazy Cake, and Chocolate Depression Cake. It’s hard to believe a cake made without eggs, milk, or butter, using just vegetable oil, can be so delicious!
