Crazy Cake, also known as Wacky Cake or Depression Cake, is made without any butter, eggs, or milk. These cakes became popular during the depression when eggs and dairy were hard to come by, and they stuck around because the recipe is such a good one. It’s quick, easy, and produces a delicious cake with a moist, tender crumb. What’s in Vanilla Crazy Cake?
