Crazy Whacky WWII Depression Chocolate Cake - No Eggs or Dairy - Mix in Pan - The Hillbilly Kitchen

[@lizknauel8727]

Another hint. If you don’t have coffee or don’t like coffee, if you boil the water and pour it over the mix. It intensifies the cocoa flavor. My father used to put the dry ingredients in a mayonnaise jar and take it with him on his deployments. Then after he baked it, he would immediately put chocolate candy bars on the cake and that was his frosting. (He was Navy veteran, working in food services.)

I watch your channel often. One day my 5 year old grandson was watching too. He asked me so innocently, “Grandma would it be making fun of her for talking about her voice?” I told him if he intentionally was making fun of you, but if you are just acknowledging she has a different accent it’s ok. Then we talked about how people living in different parts of the world have different accents, but it’s not wrong. God loves all of us no matter our different accents. Never thought a cooking show would teach more than a recipe. My grandson has a pure heart and would never intentionally hurt anyone’s feelings.

Tell that to the people in the rural blip on a map Southen town we moved to (from semi-rural Upper Midwest). We get our accent made fun of constantly...not to mention all the name-calling...it doesn't matter to them that we share the same beliefs, values, morals, etc...we aren't from here so they despise us.

My mother found this recipe in a magazine called "Grit" over 45 years ago. It's been a family favorite since then and always requested to bring to any function. Simple easy and delicious when paired with a frosting (icing) made with corn starch. Poured over a cooled cake is like a pudding. I use a bowl so I can use my hand blender in the batter. And to lick the beaters is one of the best things. The icing we have used for a long time was provided by one of my grandmother's neighbors in Kansas. It's a cooked frosting but can be put on a cooled cake. It's very fudgy and buttery tasting too. Perfect complement to the cake. And easy to make while the cake is baking.

This is a favorite recipe handed down in our family for several generations and we always doubled it for a 9x13 pan. It was the only chocolate cake recipe we made. No need for any other, since this one was so good. We called it "Funny Chocolate Cake". I've heard it called both Crazy Cake and Depression Cake. This was the first recipe we were taught to make as children. There are vanilla and spice cake versions, which are also family favorites, and my daughter developed or adapted a strawberry version as well. So versatile, quick and easy, and moist. Can be made into cupcakes. We typically didn't frost it. We never used coffee in the recipe, just water. Our recipe didn't call for a tbsp of vinegar - just equal parts vanilla and vinegar - and we used either white vinegar or cider vinegar. Great recipe!! Thanks for sharing it.

Ever tried with jelly or jam? My mom used to make box yellow cake, poke some holes in the top and then spread with red plum jam, and we have a German place here that makes something called sacher torte. It's chocolate cake with apricot in the center and a sort of ganache type topping. Hers did have eggs in it and I would bet their's does, too, but I bet you could do strawberry or raspberry with this one or maybe the vanilla version.

​@@SymphonicEllen when I was in pastry school, our instructor was a German master pastry chef and he had us make and decorate a Sacher torte. They're originally from the Sacher hotel in Austria. Many European cakes are drier so they add jams or simple syrup to add moisture.
