VANILLA WACKY CAKE



Vanilla Wacky Cake image

The "wacky" in the title refers to breaking all the rules of baking. Born out of necessity during the Great Depression, this cake swaps out the expected milk, butter and eggs-which were expensive and hard to find at the time-for water, oil and vinegar. And, yet, through some smart kitchen science, the cake still comes out fluffy, light and not a bit dry. You can mix up the batter right in the baking pan (no bowl required!) with ingredients you probably already have in your pantry. This is a vintage hack that feels like a new classic.

Time 1h45m

Yield 9 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/3 cup vegetable oil, plus more for greasing the pan
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons white vinegar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 cups frosting or whipped cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with vegetable oil.
  • Sift the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt through a fine-mesh strainer directly into the prepared baking pan. Stir together with a fork (or a silicone whisk if using a nonstick baking pan). Add the oil, vinegar, vanilla and 1 cup water; stir with the fork until fully incorporated. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 35 minutes.
  • Let the cake cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, about 1 hour. Frost the top of the cake with the frosting, if using. Cut into 9 squares and serve each with a dollop of whipped cream, if using.

Tips:

  • Use quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will result in a better-tasting cake. This means using real butter, not margarine, and fresh eggs, not egg substitutes.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will develop the gluten in the flour, which will make the cake tough. Mix the batter only until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake at the right temperature: The baking temperature will vary depending on the recipe, but most wacky cakes are baked at a moderate temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Don't overbake the cake: Overbaking the cake will make it dry and crumbly. Check the cake for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is done.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting and running off the cake.

Conclusion:

Wacky cake is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be made with a variety of ingredients. It is a great option for bakers of all skill levels and is perfect for any occasion. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, wacky cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
