Vanilla Depression Cake Recipe - this makes two cakes to be stacked together, obviously halve the recipe if you just want one smaller cake!
3 Cups of Plain Flour
2 Cups of Sugar
2 Teaspoons of Baking Soda
1 Teaspoon of Salt
Mix dry ingredients together, then add:
2 Teaspoons of White Vinegar
3 Teaspoons of Vanilla Essence
10 Tablespoons of Oil (I just used Canola)
2 Cups of Water
Mix all ingredients together, pour into two 20cm greased cake tins and bake in a preheated oven at 175oC for 35 minutes, leaving to cool on the bench afterwards.
Icing can be whatever you like, but I recommend a buttercream icing (which I'm terrible at making so won't submit a recipe just yet - give me time!)

Yep that's the one - Crazy Cake, Wacky Cake, Depression Cake ... think I've heard a few other names for it too that I can't remember lol

@@CheaperWaysNZ I do not think you realise what they we’re referencing, they were in reality referencing a cut line from Valve’s 2007 puzzle video game, Portal

@@taylorberry1735 ah ok cool lol ... although this recipe is actually called a Vanilla Crazy Cake as well 😁

[@antlionworkerfan2007]

That looks cool and all but you should also add garnish’s like: Fish shaped crackers. Fish shaped candies. Fish shaped solid waste. Fish shaped dirt. Fish shaped ethyl benzene. Pull and peel licorice. Fish shaped volatile organic compounds and sediment shaped sediment. Candy coated peanut butter pieces. Shaped like fish. One cup lemon juice. Alpha resins. Unsaturated polyester resin. Fiberglass surface resins. And volatile malted milk impoundments. Nine large egg yolks. Twelve medium geosynthetic membranes. One cup granulated sugar. An entry called 'how to kill someone with your bare hands'. Two cups rhubarb, sliced. Two slash three cups granulated rhubarb. One tablespoon all-purpose rhubarb. One teaspoon grated orange rhubarb. Three tablespoons rhubarb, on fire. One large rhubarb. One cross borehole electromagnetic imaging rhubarb. Two tablespoons rhubarb juice. Adjustable aluminum head positioner. Slaughter electric needle injector. Cordless electric needle injector. Injector needle driver. Injector needle gun. Cranial caps. And it contains proven preservatives, deep penetration agents, and gas and odor control chemicals. That will deodorize and preserve putrid tissue.

Interesting ... generally I'm very open to suggestions but may struggle to find some of these ingredients ... lol 😜

[@heathercronin]

You can put regular sugar into the food processor,and make it icing sugar.thank you for sharing the vanilla version of the wacky cake.

[@CheaperWaysNZ]

Yes I have tried this - takes a bit of doing but probably depends how good your food processor is lol
