Notes
¹If you bake this in an aluminum baking dish it might cause the cake to have a metallic taste. If you only have this type of dish, you can line the pan with parchment paper to prevent this.
This cake may instead be baked in a 9x9 or 11x7 baking dish, but keep an eye on it as the baking time will be reduced.
You can make this a vanilla cake by leaving out the cocoa powder.
STORING:Store covered at room temperature for up to 5 days. Cake will keep even longer if stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator by the fridge may dry out the cake a bit.

How to Make Crazy Cake

An easy Crazy chocolate cake recipe ready in 10 minutes in 1-bowl and 100% egg-free, dairy-free and vegan friendly

Crazy chocolate cake

All-purpose Flour (see note for healthier/gluten free options)

Sugar (see note for sugar-free/unrefined options)

Unsweetened Cocoa Powder

Apple Cider Vinegar (or white vinegar or lemon juice)

Baking Soda

Salt

Canola oil (or light olive oil

Water (at room temperature)

3.5 oz Dark Chocolate Chips (or dark chocolate pieces (70-85% cocoa))

Coconut Milk

Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a 9-inch x 9-inch square cake pan with oil. Glass or ceramic pan work the best.

Directly in the cake pan (no bowl needed for this recipe), add the flour, sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda. Whisk to combine.

Make 2 wells in the dry ingredients and add the vinegar in one of the wells and the oil in the other well.

Pour the water, at room temperature, over the ingredients and whisk to form a batter with no lump. Careful, don&#039;t use boiling water or the cake will be very chewy. Very cold water may create lumps, especially with gluten-free all-purpose flour.

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a pick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.

Cooldown to room temperature before frosting. If you used a glass/ceramic pan, cool the cake in the pan, no need to unmold it. Otherwise, unmold after 10 minutes and cool down on a rack.

Meanwhile, prepare the chocolate ganache

Combine the melted chocolate with coconut cream

Heat the coconut milk or cream in a small pan (you can also use your microwave), then pour over the dark chocolate chips and stir until the chocolate in the ganache is smooth and shiny.

Spread all over the cake before serving

This easy crazy cake recipe is made without eggs, milk, or butter. The result is a rich, fudgy, and moist chocolate cake with a tender crumb.

Tablespoon white vinegar

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Add flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt to an ungreased 8-inch round or square baking pan. Whisk to combine.

Make 3 wells in the mixture. One larger hole and 2 smaller (see image). Pour oil, vinegar, and vanilla into the wells.

Pour water over all of the ingredients. Mix well with a fork, making sure to get all the dry mix that gets stuck in the corners.

Before baking, give the pan a couple of taps on the counter to help release any bubbles. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick or cake tester inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.

Serve plain, topped with powdered sugar, or topped with your favorite frosting. If frosting, allow the cake to cool to room temperate first.

vegetable oil

unsalted butter, softened

milk

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a 9x13-inch cake pan with oil or butter.

In a large mixing bowl, sift the flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, and cocoa powder.

In a separate bowl or measuring jug, measure the oil, vinegar, vanilla, and cold water. Mix well.

Pour the wet ingredients over the dry and stir until smooth.

Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few dry crumbs. Let the cake cool completely.

While the cake cools, make the frosting.

In a medium bowl, blend the cocoa powder and softened butter until smooth.

Gradually add the powdered sugar and milk, beating to spreading consistency. Add small amounts of extra milk if needed to thin the frosting.

Stir in the vanilla extract.

Once the cake is completely cooled, spread the frosting evenly over it.

My great grandmother use to make this cake when I was a child. The only difference was that she would not frost it but sprinkle powdered sugar over the top. This cake brings back such good memories.

I first discoverd this recipe when I was young. Mom would make the cake and frost it with German chocolate cake frosting. After I got married my husband's aunt would frost it with a frosting that you cooked milk and flour till thickened and whip this pudding with sugar and butter. My husband didn't eat eggs so loved making this cake and frosting it with milk chocolate tube frosting 
One of the best chocolate cakes recipes ever found!!

If you’re looking for a fun and delicious dessert then you have to try this Wacky Cake recipe! This cake is full of rich chocolate flavor and topped with easy-to make chocolate whipped cream.

This old fashioned cake from the Great Depression era is moist and tender, and contains NO eggs, milk, or butter. We&#39;ll add sprinkles to make it festive!

Vanilla Wacky Cake with Sprinkles

flour

oil oil

vinegar

vanilla

sprinkles ((use jimmies

(4 tablespoons) softened butter ((substitute non-dairy butter if desired))

milk ((substitute non-dairy milk if desired))

jimmies (sprinkles)

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Place the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt in an ungreased 8x8-inch pan. Stir with a fork to combine.

Make three wells in the flour mixture, and pour the vanilla into one well, the vinegar into another well, and the oil into the final well.

Pour the water over the top, and stir with a fork to combine.

Stir in the sprinkles. Check the edges of the dish to make sure no dry ingredients have gathered there, and mix just until combined.

Bake the cake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Place the softened butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk into a large bowl.

Mix with a hand mixer until light and fluffy. Spread over the cooled cake, and top with additional sprinkles.

For the frosting:

Toasty, nutty sorghum syrup sweetens this wacky cake recipe, a Depression-era dessert that’s stood the test of time.

ginger

kosher salt

white vinegar or apple cider vinegar

Tbsp. softened unsalted butter,

sorghum syrup

unsalted butter,

Make the cake: Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350°F. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and salt. To a small bowl, add the vinegar and ½ cup of hot water. In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the sugar and butter on medium speed until a coarse paste forms, then beat in the sorghum syrup until well incorporated. Replace the paddle with the whisk attachment and, with the machine running, gradually add approximately half of the flour mixture, followed by approximately half of the vinegar mixture; then, gradually add the remaining flour mixture, followed by the remaining vinegar mixture, and continue whisking just until a smooth batter forms. Transfer the batter to a greased 9-inch cake pan and bake until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Set aside to cool to room temperature. Meanwhile, wash and dry the stand-mixer bowl and return it to the machine.

Make the frosting: In the stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the syrup and 1 tablespoon of room-temperature water until it resembles the consistency of maple syrup. Add the butter and vanilla extract and beat until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar, ¼ cup at a time, and beat until the mixture is fluffy and well combined.

Using an offset spatula, spread the frosting evenly over the top of the cake. Slice into equal portions and serve.

Chocolate Zucchini Crazy Cake (No Eggs, Milk or Butter!)

white sugar

baking powder

vegetable oil ((or canola oil))

apple cider vinegar ((or white vinegar))

zucchini,

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8&quot;x 8&quot; baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.  Grate the zucchini and remove excess water and set aside.

Grate the zucchini using the large holes on your box grater.

Spread the grated zucchini in an even layer on several sheets of paper towel.

Next, form a ball. Gather the corners of the paper towel and twist them to form the zucchini into a ball, like a baseball.

Now squeeze out the water. Hold the ball over a sink and squeeze it firmly by hand to wring out all the excess liquid.

Last, unwrap the zucchini and set aside. The zucchini will now be much drier and ready to use in your cake batter.

How to Squeeze Water from Zucchini by Hand

Mix the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, unsweetened cocoa, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder and salt) in a large bowl – until well blended.
