Wacky cake from Baking Yesteryear: The Best Recipes from the 1900s to the 1980s (page 104) by B. Dylan Hollis

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Made this with my 10-year-old son - a perfect recipe to do with a kid! We were shocked at how good it was! We used Guittard cocoa, so using great quality cocoa probably had something to do with it!

    A slight improvement on the Crazy Cake I grew up on.
