I Tried Great Depression Chocolate Cake, Aka Wacky Cake

It was also nice to not have to use any eggs or milk — which I’m lowkey rationing right now since they’re both expensive at the grocery store.

Overall, I did like this cake — it just wasn’t as sweet as I would’ve wanted it to be but that’s my personal preference. I would definitely make this cake again, but next time I would add in things like chocolate chips or even make a frosting to spread on top to make the cake a little sweeter. However, if you’re someone who doesn’t like overly sweet desserts  the original recipe is probably for you. 

The recipe I followed did include instructions for frosting but it included butter and milk. I purposely didn’t create it since I was trying to stay true to the original Depression-era recipe (that didn’t include any eggs, butter, or milk). 

Either way, this cake did not go to waste as I happily ate it as a dessert with a scoop of ice cream on top which gave me that sweetness I was craving and just overall brought the cake to another level.
