What’s A Wacky Cake?
A Wacky Cake, also known as vanilla depression cake or vanilla crazy cake, is a one-bowl cake made only with pantry ingredients. It’s a cake that was created during the Great Depression when it was difficult to get fresh goods.
As a result, wacky cakes are naturally vegan, made without eggs, milk, or butter.

All you need are a few pantry items listed below:

How To Make Vanilla Wacky Cake
It’s very easy to make this vanilla crazy cake recipe in less than 10 minutes.
- Precaliente el horno a 180 °C (350 °F).
- Now you have two options to make the wacky cake batter. You can work everything in the cake pan directly. However, it’s not my favorite option because sometimes the cake sticks to the pan working this way. So I like to line parchment paper in my square 8-inch x 8-inch pan. Slightly spray oil all over the paper and prepare the depression cake batter in a bowl.
- In a mixing bowl, add flour, sugar, and baking powder. Whisk well to combine.
- Make three wells in the flour. In the first well, add the apple cider vinegar. In the second one, add the oil, and in the last one, add the vanilla extract.
- Finally, pour the water all over the bowl and whisk with a hand whisk until just combined. Don’t over-mix the batter, stop as soon as the wacky cake batter is smooth, thin, and no lumps show.
- Pour the vanilla wacky cake batter into the prepared cake pan.
- Bake in the center rack of the oven at 350°F (180°C) until the cake is golden on top, slightly raised, and a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. The baking time varies from 30 to 35 minutes in an oven preheated to 350°F (180°C).
- Remove the cake from the oven and release it on a wire rack.
- Let the wacky cake cool down completely before frosting. It takes about 1 hour at room temperature.
Opciones de glaseado
This vanilla crazy cake is delicious on its own with a dust of powdered sugar. But you can also use the recipe to make a 2-layer cake. Simply double up the recipe and frost the cake layers using one of the frosting options below:

Adicionales

- Bayas – blueberries, chopped strawberries, or raspberries.
- Chips de chocolate amargo
- Nueces picadas and dried fruits like raisins or cranberries.

Store the leftover cake in a cake box or airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can freeze leftover wacky cakes in zip-lock bags and thaw them in the fridge the day before.

I’ve tried your crazy cake before so I knew this one would be good, it was even better! I made the vanilla frosting but didn’t have sprinkle so I put chopped peanuts instead.
