Many older recipes are still good,
Crazy, or Wacky Cake ad Peg Brack called it, being one of them.
It is in I Hate to Cook Book.

I Was thinking the same thing. This is an old recipe; I remember having this
cake at one of my first birthday parties when I was a kid. I was the only
blind kid there. Yay me!
This is a good recipe and there sure is nothing wrong with bringing out the
older ones.

I recognize this recipe.  It is an old wartime recipe With no eggs in it.
It's a crazy cake all right, But it always turns out good.  I make it
sometimes.

I was given this recipe by a blind friend of mine. I tried it and it came
out nice.

 

Crazy      Cake 

 

half cup oil 

three quarters cup water 

2 tablespoons vinegar 

1 teaspoon vanilla 

1 cup sugar 

1 and a half cups plain flour                                   

2 tablespoons cocoa 

1 teaspoon cinnamon 

1 teaspoon ginger 

1 teaspoon baking soda 

1 teaspoon salt 

 

 

Line the bottom of a 20 cm or 23 cm (8-9 inch) tin with greaseproof paper,
(I use non-stick tins, so just grease the bottom and sides).  Grease and
flour the sides of the tin and heat the oven to 190 C or 375 F for a 20 cm
tin, or 200 C or 400 F for a 23 cm tin. Put all the ingredients into the
food processor bowl in the order given and process until just mixed, using
metal chopping blade, or plastic mixing blade.  Do not over process. Pour
batter into the prepared tin.  Bake the smaller cake for 30-45 minutes,
[1]or the larger cake for 25-30 minutes, or until the centre of the cake
springs back when lightly touched.  Leave cake in tin for 5 minutes, then
turn out on a wire rack to cool completely.

This cake is nice eaten as is, iced, or topped with whipped cream. 

 

Enjoy!

 

Bridget
