Valentine's Day Treat

You may be familiar with this cake as it goes by many different names. In my childhood home, we called it Wacky Cake because that's what the Girl Scouts called it. My sister Sue was a Girl Scout and that's how we came to have the recipe. The origin of Wacky Cake is thought to be linked to the Depression or World War II eras, which makes sense as it contains no eggs (have you seen the prices lately!), butter, or milk. ​

​This is the original recipe that my Mom had in her recipe tin and it's at least 50 years old. I think you can tell by the worn and stained piece of paper how much we liked this cake.
