Welcome to Vintagious, here, in my own litttle corner of KZbin I will show you how to create beautiful hairstyles from all eras. Sure, my main focus is on simple vintage hairstyling but I also love easy modern styles.
I don't have a favourite era, it changes all the time. One day it'll be Edwardian hairstyles that I'm all over, the next, pinup girl hair, the next I'll be all about Greek Goddesses and their crazy Barnets! I just love it all!
I do hope that you enjoy my videos and that you can learn something from them, even just a tiny bit - and even if you learn nothing I hope that they make you smile.

My family used to call this "Crazy Cake" and made it often. The cake is so rich tasting that we rarely frosted it. Great with ice cream, powder sugar decoration with doilies or whip cream. Yum!

[@bradmoyse6162]

Here in Canada we called it wacky cake. My Nanny always made it from the war recipe book. Still love it.

[@50sRockChick]

Oh wow, Natalie, I was looking for a vegan recipe cake for my daughter and this crops up, I can't believe the timing. Thank you. :)

[@FitfullyVintage]

[@h0ebart]

I finally got the chance to make this cake and OMG is it OFF THE HOOK! Thank you so much for sharing the recipe! I had all the ingredients on hand except white vinegar, so I used apple cider vinegar instead and it worked perfectly! You da bomb, thank you!

[@vintagekitten15]

I want to be the girl with the most cake.that recipe looks good.and the coconut icing is a nice touch.Can't wait to try this.

[@vanadee1618]

this cake with no frosting is called a three well cake. It is a staple of chuchwagon cooking which cattle drives in the old west were based on. it is wonderful that if carried over to WW2 cooking.

[@chefgirly93]

This recipe is great! I have used it many times myself.I love not having a mess of extra dishes to wash up. The cake get a bit of a crust on the top from the sugar that I love!

it looks soo yummy! I would really like that you continue to do more vintage recipes!though I love all of your videos! :)

[@scottyb.4534]

It's amazing that you could make such a wonderful cake without milk, eggs and butter! I'm old enough to remember those rationing books back in the USA. I don't know if our rationing was as severe as yours, but I do recall those red coupons that my mum had to fork over to get a little meat at the butcher shop. Again, congrats on your amazing chocolate cake!

[@madisonkennedy5908]

[@AntayaS]

[@donnachibobini6487]

I'm trying to find recipes during ww2 and it's so difficult. We need more of these Dx

[@BigBusyBunny]

I absolutely love how this is vegan, it's delicious, moist & rich, I don't understand why they went back to using eggs & milk in cakes...I can't stand the smell of it it's revolting! thank you for posting this 😘

[@breeb.3385]

Looks delish! Yes - please more vintagious vegan videos!

[@VintageCamperGalWisconsin]

I think even I could make this :) Thanks for the recipe miss.

[@kimsmith1675]

Looks great! I made a similar cake, but used applesauce in place of the oil and it was moist and fat-free. :)

[@1940sExperiment]

This looks absolutely delicious!!! So moist looking! My chocolate cakes always come out rubbish!! C xx

[@LucyS2198]

Will definitely be trying this!!!

[@GrowthMusicTravel]

[@FitfullyVintage]

+Growth Music Travel No problem! Careful with that cream - it's crazy moreish!

[@shinyball8588]

When I saw the smiley face I thought it was a smiley face cake or something XD

[@lizzierothwell7822]

Thank you! I shall try this!X

[@janetbrowning9089]

A whole cup of sugar, during WWII rationing, would have been a luxury for the King and Queen only...I love the recipe, but it is hardly a WWII Rationing one...I agree with you there...lol I love the coconut cream idea too...I was thinking about the cake, when you tested it and it came out that it wasn't done...it might have been the kind of cake, that has a sort of pudding texture in the middle of it? Loved you doing this whole recipe...take care and thanks again!!🎂😊

[@FitfullyVintage]

Haha! Yes, they probably would have had to save the sugar quite a bit for this one! You’re right, the cake could well have been meant to be a bit pudding like. I’m glad you like the recipe - it’s very delicious.

[@janetbrowning9089]

@@FitfullyVintage It looked sooo good, it really did...I am definitely going to make it too and the coconut whip to make with it...I'll let you know how it turns out...I think I need to sub you too...I do like your approach to cooking a lot of these dishes...I am in the US and I like to try other dishes from other countries too...I just started following another person...his name is Johnathan...he is always making dishes that are frugal, sorta from WWII era too...so, between the two of you, I should find lots of new things to make...take care, gf and thanks again!!😊🙏💖

[@JoannaStockton]

Hello, great video. I just clicked on the blue highlighted http and it brought up flashing Asian signs, very strange. I thought you would like to know.

[@mohammedrabiul-islam157]

Is it just me or does the link for the blog not work?

[@kathydebernardo3459]

I couldn’t get the recipe either from the blog. 😳

[@messyworld106]

OMG I have to make this. I have only one question. Do I need to put white vinegar? Can I put something else? Big kiss from Bosnia ♥

[@FitfullyVintage]

+Messy World I don't know. I think it's probably important, there aren't many ingredients so it's likely each will do a job' so to speak. Do try it - it's delicious!

[@juniperspringz]

Do you have a fruit flavored balsamic like blackberry or raspberry? It will have the properties of vinegar and will add a hint of flavor. Even just a plain balsamic vinegar would be nice.

[@aussiejubes]

Too late for you, but the answer is, the vinegar reacts with the bicarb & causes a reaction that makes the cake rise. It's a common addition to vegan baking. You can do without it but your rise will be less or non-existent.

[@kathydebernardo3459]

Your link isn’t working to get the full recipe. Bummer.

[@FitfullyVintage]

Yes, that’s true. I no longer have that blog. Thank you for reminding me I’ll put the recipe in the description

[@leehellam9719]

If you put the tin of coconut milk in the fridge overnight you will get more of the solid coconut

[@TracyD2]

Put some coffee in there and oh yea. Did they ration coffee?

[@FitfullyVintage]

+Tracy To hazard a guess I would say that most definitely coffee would have been rationed if available at all in the UK. It would be a super yummy addition though - thanks!

[@amr4211]

Coffee was not rationed in the U.K., but wasn’t very available, and often had other ingredients added to stretch it. Coffee was rationed in the United States and Canada.

[@Hi-to-ri]

Yes to the vegan 🍰
