If you like rich and moist this cake is all that.
So, what? You just will it into existence?
I want thissss!!
Recipe or it didn’t happen !
no mixing? *looks at recipe* “stir with a fork until well blended.”
ahh yes, stirring, completely different than mixing and infinitely easier! professional bakers hate this one hack!
I remember my Mom making this. Looks like a good vegan recipe, too.
So the baking soda and vinegar cause the rising without eggs? Interesting!
Reminds me of Matilda
Do you have the frosting recipe?
All the surprised folks in the comments didn’t grow up with relatives making goofy/wacky cake.
aka Goofy Cake – yep its a great, easy and affordable option. Perfect for kids who can’t have eggs too.
We used to get this at school. I’m old but not depression era old.
I made this cake a bunch during COVID, so I have some suggestions. First, it’s easier just to mix up the batter in a separate bowl. This way you can also grease the cake pan. Second, replace the water with cooled coffee. It really makes it taste more chocolatey with no real coffee flavor. Finally, adding about a 1/2 cup of chocolate chips is nice. I usually didn’t frost the cake, just dusted it with powdered sugar or sprinkles.
