The Perfect Cake For Everyone on Your Invite List! Allergies? No problem!
No need to sit out for dessert if you have food allergies. This cake doesn’t have milk or eggs! CRAZY.
When I saw that this was a great cake to include in my list for those with food issues, I happened to read about its origin, which is a glance back into a part of our history we often forget about. The Depression.
It is often referred to as Wacky Cake but was first named Depression Cake because you could make this without the use of some of the key ingredients, dairy and eggs, which were really expensive.
It is hard to imagine not having some of the basic ingredients available, but those gals made do with what they had. This cake is a great tribute to those who survived that very difficult time.
This is what Jamie of Totally the Bomb has to say about this simple cake.
