Friends, today I have something you

need in your life: chocolate depression
cake. It’s something that is ridiculously
simple to make and decadently delicious.

Now, you’re probably wondering why it’s

called a depression cake? Well, recipes
like this grew in popularity during hard
times in our history like The Great
Depression, when ingredients for typical
cakes grew scarce. This particular
depression cake recipe uses simple
pantry ingredients and doesn’t need any
butter, milk, or even eggs! It is kind of
the dairy-free fluffy cake version of my
Mama’s Chocolate Cobbler. It’s also
known as a Crazy Cake or Wacky Cake,
as a cake without butter is definitely a
Wacky Cake, right?

Don’t let the simple ingredients fool ya

into thinking this is a run-of-the-mill
cake, though! With a deeply rich and
fudgy chocolate flavor and fluffy texture,
it is similar to a moist devil’s food cake.
We like it without icing as a great snack
cake, but you can add in some simple
frosting to make it a dessert worthy of
any table. Just note that the frosting
does include dairy. If you arent in the
mood for chocolate check out some of
my other cake recipes like Fresh
Strawberry Cake With Cream Cheese

Cake, or Grandmama’s Coconut Cake
With No-Fail Seven Minute Frosting

doesn’t have a coconut flavor).

This batter is heavenly!

Bake at 350 for 30 to 35 minutes,

or until a toothpick inserted in the
center comes out clean.

Can you smell it? I sure can. Wish

you were here!

Look at that crazy beautiful

chocolate crazy cake!

I just topped the cooled cake with

a can of frosting, but you can whip
up a homemade frosting, glaze, or
sprinkle a little confectioner’s
sugar over the top.
