About Depression cake
Depression Cake, also known as "Wacky Cake" or "War Cake," is a simple, eggless and dairy-free dessert that originated during the Great Depression, when ingredients like milk, butter, and eggs were scarce. This moist and chocolatey cake is typically made with basic pantry staples such as flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, vinegar, vegetable oil, and water. Its unique preparation involves mixing the ingredients directly in the baking pan, making it both convenient and economical. While Depression Cake contains no cholesterol due to its lack of eggs and butter, it is still a sweet treat high in sugar and refined carbohydrates, which should be enjoyed in moderation. Vegan-friendly and adaptable, the recipe remains popular for those with dietary restrictions or a minimalist approach to baking.
