Wacky Cake Is Having a Comeback

Egg prices are wild right now, and people are digging up old-school recipes to save cash—like wacky cake! This Depression-era chocolate cake skips eggs and dairy, using vinegar, oil, and baking soda instead. It’s super easy, totally budget-friendly, and has popped up every time money gets tight (think WWII, COVID, and now). It might not win any beauty contests, but it’s proof you can still have dessert without spending a fortune. Would you try making it? #WackyCake #BudgetBaking #FoodHistory #Food
