Crazy Cake
Also known as depression cake. It uses all pantry ingredients (no butter, eggs or milk), so it's perfect for the current time. It's easy and quick to make, but still perfectly moist and indulgent. Recipe adapted from: sugarspunrun.com.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease an 8x8" glass baking pan and set it aside (if you have an aluminum pan, line it with parchment paper to avoid a metallic taste).
- 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. Create a well in the center and add the water, oil, vinegar and vanilla. Stir it all together until just combined and the batter is smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Set the pan on a wire rack to cool it before frosting.
- 3
For the icing: whisk together all the icing ingredients in a medium bowl until smooth. It should be thick and fudgy, but still spreadable. If it's too thick, add more water 1 tsp at a time until you get the right consistency. Once the cake is completely cooled, gently spread the icing over the top, then slice the cake into squares and serve.

Wacky Wacky Cake! Wacky Wacky Cake!
Wacky Wacky Cake! This is a fun and delicious chocolate cake recipe you’ll love! It’s simple, budget-friendly, and doesn’t contain eggs or dairy, so it’s also vegan-friendly. The cake bakes up moist and stays that way!This unique cake first became popular during the Great Depression, when ingredients like dairy and eggs were hard to come by. It later gained popularity again during World War II, when milk and eggs were scarce. Most recently, it became a favorite dessert during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns.

Chocolate Cake Chocolate Cake
Made this few week ago we frozen the slices and had 60g each every Saturday and Sunday with ice cream. This time I used butter instead of margarine and added 1 egg plus used large instead of medium. This cake is soft with crunchy top and sides. And everyone who tried it had it eat whole portion in 1 go as apposed to wanting to save some.
