Two-Layer Crazy Cake (No Eggs, Milk or Butter)

by Mary Neumann · 1 Comment · Disclosure/Disclaimer · Privacy Policy

This week we celebrated our youngest daughter’s 17th birthday. Even though she has outgrown her egg allergy, Crazy Cake (also known as Wacky Cake and Depression Cake) is still the only cake she wants on her special day.

TWO-LAYER CRAZY CAKE (No Eggs, Milk Or Butter)

Crazy cake also known as Wacky Cake & Depression Cake – No Eggs, Milk, Butter or Mixers! This ONE-BOWL layer cake is super moist and absolutely delicious. Go-to recipe for egg/dairy allergies – it’s vegan! Great activity to do with kids. Recipe dates back to the Great Depression. It’s darn good cake!

Every year I have been making her cake in a baking dish, just like the original recipe calls for.

This year I decided to finally make a layer cake, doubling the recipe, mixing the batter in a bowl and baking the cake in two 9 inch round cake pans.

All of My Crazy Cake Flavors Can Be Layered

To layer a crazy cake, simply double the recipe like I did below for Chocolate Crazy Cake, mixing the batter in a large bowl following the same directions for the wet and dry ingredients. Divide the batter evenly between two 9 inch round prepared cake pans (8 inch round cake pans work too). Bake on middle rack of oven for 35 minutes in a preheated oven at 350 degrees f. – check with a toothpick to make sure it comes out clean.

Oven baking times may vary, keep an eye on your cake to make sure you do not over bake.

GREAT TIPS ON HOW TO MAKE A TWO-LAYER CAKE

This cake is so simple to make, so good. It’s even better the next day!

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

3 cups flour (all-purpose/plain flour)

6 Tablespoons cocoa (unsweetened)

2 cups sugar (all-purpose sugar – granulated pure cane sugar)

2 teaspoons baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

2 teaspoons white vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

1/2 cup plus 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil or canola oil (or 10 Tablespoons)

2 cups water

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Prepare two 9 inch round cake pans with grease/oil, flour, parchment paper. Learn how to prepare cake pans.

In a large bowl mix the first 5 dry ingredients. Make 3 depressions in dry ingredients – two small, one larger. Pour vinegar in one depression, vanilla in the other and the vegetable oil in third larger depression. Pour water over all. Mix well until smooth.

Divide cake batter evenly between the two round cake pans.

Bake on middle rack of oven for 35 minutes. Check with a toothpick to make sure it comes out clean. Allow to cool completely before frosting.

Frost and layer cake with your favorite frosting – homemade or store bought.

Notes

Oven baking times may vary, keep an eye on your cake to make sure you do not over bake.
You can use an 8 or 9 inch round baking pans.
If you have never made a layer cake, here are great tips on How To Make A Two-Layer Cake
Make sure your baking soda is fresh, vinegar too. These two ingredients make the cake rise.

Snickerdoodle Crazy Mug Cake (No Eggs, Milk or Butter)

by Mary Neumann · 2 Comments · Disclosure/Disclaimer · Privacy Policy

After several requests I finally got around to making a new Crazy Mug Cake. Today I am sharing a single serving mug version for my super popular Snickerdoodle Crazy Cake. You all LOVE these cakes – also known as, Wacky Cake and Depression Cake, no eggs, milk or butter!

SNICKERDOODLE CRAZY MUG CAKE (No Eggs, Milk or Butter)

This is the BEST single serving Snickerdoodle Mug Cake – made without eggs or dairy! The cherished cinnamon and sugar snickerdoodle cookie is transformed into a wonderful mug cake using pantry staples. This easy dessert whips up quickly, ready within 2 minutes or less in the microwave. Super moist, absolutely delicious!

WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE SNICKERDOODLE CRAZY MUG CAKE

Flour, sugar, ground cinnamon, salt, baking soda, cream of tartar (optional), vanilla, canola oil (or vegetable oil), apple cider vinegar (or white vinegar) and water.

HOW TO MAKE SNICKERDOOLDE CRAZY MUG CAKE

Spray a 16 ounce microwave safe mug with non-stick cooking spray. In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon sugar topping – set aside.

In mug or small bowl mix all of the dry ingredients. Next add the wet ingredients and mix well using a fork, until batter is smooth – transfer to mug if using a bowl.

Place in microwave and cook on high for 1 1/2 – 2 minutes uncovered. Check with toothpick to make sure it comes out clean. Be sure not to over bake! Sprinkle top of cake with cinnamon sugar – enjoy!

*Cake batter can be mixed in a microwave safe mug (16 ounce size) or mixed in a small bowl then poured into a mug.

It’s awesome topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel…or both! A dollop of whipped cream is wonderful too.

Be sure to check out my Chocolate Crazy Cake in a Mug (great reviews) and all my other Crazy Cake Flavors.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

5 1/2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 Tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
pinch of salt
pinch of cream of tartar (optional – see note below)

Wet Ingredients

1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (or white vinegar)
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 teaspoon canola oil (or vegetable oil)
4 1/2 Tablespoons water

Cinnamon Sugar Topping

1/2 Tablespoon sugar

1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

*Cake batter can be mixed in a microwave safe mug (16 ounce size) or mixed in a small bowl then poured into a mug.

Spray a 16 ounce microwave safe mug with non-stick cooking spray.

In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon sugar topping – set aside.

In mug or small bowl mix all of the dry ingredients. Next add the wet ingredients and mix well using a fork, until batter is smooth – transfer to mug if using a bowl.

Place in microwave and cook on high for 1 1/2 – 2 minutes uncovered. Check with toothpick to make sure it comes out clean. Be sure not to over bake!

When ready, remove from microwave and sprinkle top of cake with cinnamon sugar, allow to cool for a few minutes – enjoy!

It’s awesome topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle caramel…or both! A dollop of whipped cream is wonderful too.

TIPS

*Cream of tartar is not necessary if you do not have it on hand. Cream of tartar is used to give the distinctive tang taste in Snickerdoodle cookies, not as an leavening agent. You still get all the cinnamon and sugar cookie flavor if you leave cream of tartar out.

Make sure your baking soda and vinegar are fresh – they are what make the cake rise.

Thanks for stopping by!

Cheers!
