Wacky cake is spongy and unlike most desserts, because no eggs or milk are used to make it (a great recipe if your family has food allergies). It's a wonderful old-fashioned cake make from pantry items. Light and fluffy, this cake is full of chocolate flavor. It is incredibly moist and melts in your mouth. One taste and you'll be hooked. Perfect dusted with powdered sugar but feel free to top it the way you like. We believe this type of cake was developed as a result of the rationing during World War II, and it surely has stood the test of time.
