Here is the depression-era crazy cake recipe:

Ingredients:

  • 3 Tbsp. cocoa (unsweetened)
  • 1 cup of sugar
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. white vinegar
  • 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • 5 Tbsp. vegetable oil
  • 1 cup water (or coffee)

Directions:

At first, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (180°C). Then mix the flour, cocoa, sugar, baking soda, and salt in a greased, 8″ square baking pan.

Now, make three depressions in the flour. Two small ones and one big one. Pour vinegar in one of them, and vanilla in the other. In the largest depression, pour vegetable oil. Lastly, pour water over the entire mixture and combine it thoroughly until the batter is smooth. Just make sure no dry flour remains on the bottom of the bowl.

Bake for 35 minutes or until a toothpick, when inserted, comes out clean. Cool the cake in the pan, then top with the frosting of your choice or enjoy plain. Enjoy!
