Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 ½ cups flour
1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup cold water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 F.
  • Add dry ingredients to an ungreased 8-inch round or square baking pan. Whisk to combine.
  • Make 3 wells in the mixture. One larger hole and 2 smaller (see image). Pour oil, vinegar, and vanilla into the wells.
  • Pour water over all of the ingredients. Mix well with a fork, making sure to get all the dry mix that gets stuck in the corners.
  • Before baking, give the pan a couple of taps on the counter to help release any bubbles. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out mostly clean.
  • Serve plain, topped with powdered sugar, or frosted. If frosting, allow the cake to cool to room temperate before frosting.

GRANDMA'S WACKY CAKE



Grandma's Wacky Cake image

I regret I do not have a frosting recipe for this cake as I make without using any measurements. It is quite good with a chocolate frosting though. My grandma always put a couple tablespoons of coffee in her chocolate frosting makes it quite delicious!

VANILLA WACKY CAKE



Vanilla Wacky Cake image

The "wacky" in the title refers to breaking all the rules of baking. Born out of necessity during the Great Depression, this cake swaps out the expected milk, butter and eggs-which were expensive and hard to find at the time-for water, oil and vinegar. And, yet, through some smart kitchen science, the cake still comes out fluffy, light and not a bit dry. You can mix up the batter right in the baking pan (no bowl required!) with ingredients you probably already have in your pantry. This is a vintage hack that feels like a new classic.

Time 1h45m

Yield 9 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/3 cup vegetable oil, plus more for greasing the pan
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons white vinegar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 cups frosting or whipped cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with vegetable oil.
  • Sift the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt through a fine-mesh strainer directly into the prepared baking pan. Stir together with a fork (or a silicone whisk if using a nonstick baking pan). Add the oil, vinegar, vanilla and 1 cup water; stir with the fork until fully incorporated. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 35 minutes.
  • Let the cake cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, about 1 hour. Frost the top of the cake with the frosting, if using. Cut into 9 squares and serve each with a dollop of whipped cream, if using.
