This is a dense, but very moist cake, and so easy to make. It's not overpowering with chocolate.

Fluffy frosting mixes up in seconds. Change up the pudding in the frosting to your liking. I used vanilla tonight.

Mix all in one bowl, and no eggs.

How to Make Wacky Chocolate Depression Cake

Step-by-Step

In a bowl, combine the first five ingredients. Add the water, oil, vinegar and vanilla. Beat on low speed for 1 minute. Beat on medium for 1 minute.
Pour into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
For frosting, in a bowl, beat the milk and pudding mix for 2 minutes. Beat in whipped topping. Spread over cake. Refrigerate leftovers.
