Make Do & Mend
#throwbackthursday
By: Sabrina Merks
For the next few weeks I will be sharing some crafts and things you can do while at home and to get yourself ready for a fruitful spring! Today I will be showing you how to create your very own wacky cake!
What is Wacky Cake ? Wacky cake, also called crazy cake, Joe cake, and WW II cake, is a spongy, cocoa-based cake. It is unique in that unlike most pastries and desserts, no eggs, butter or milk are used to make the cake batter. Wacky Cake may have been created as the result of rationing during World War II, when milk and eggs were scarce. Active ingredients in wacky cake include flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, vegetable oil, white vinegar, salt and vanilla extract. The eggless batter means that the structure of the cake is entirely supported by gluten, which is strengthened by the acidic vinegar and salt. Some recipes add brewed coffee as an additional ingredient. The cake may be topped with icing or confectioner's sugar, or even served plain.
I know as a vegan these cakes taste great and if you're are craving something sweet but cant go out to buy anything! This is the cake for you!
