If you choose to mix your batter using an electric mixer, you do not need to sift the flour and sugar.I used Lily's self-rising flour* to make this recipe.To make your own self-rising flour, add 1 and 3/4 cups all purpose flour, 2 and 5/8 tsp baking powder and 7/16 tsp salt to a bowl.I always found the chocolate crazy cake’s crumb a little too loose, but this vanilla version doesn’t have that issue. But I found that using baking powder creates a better crumb. The cake texture was gummy and not as fluffy and light as the chocolate version.Ĭrazy cake also usually contains baking soda and vinegar to act as a leavening agent. I immediately tried making a vanilla version but the vanilla versions I tried never quite worked out for me. I made it a few years ago and fell in love with the concept. The most popular version is a chocolate crazy cake. The ingredient list is simpler and I think the texture is also much better than the crazy vanilla cakes I’ve tried in the past.Ĭrazy Cake, also known as Depression Cake, is a cake made without eggs, butter or milk that was created during WWII when resources were scarce. This cake is inspired by Crazy Cake but is not quite the same. You want to use a neutral oil like vegetable oil so that you don’t taste the oil flavor in the cake. Sugar: This recipe is sweetened with regular granulated white sugar. The exact amounts are shared in the recipe card notes section. If you don’t have self-rising flour, you can make your own with all purpose flour, baking powder and salt. Self-Rising Flour: To simplify this recipe, I used self-rising flour which already has baking powder and salt added to it. You can bake it as a regular cake, use it for cupcakes or use it to make a layered cake as well. It is so easy to whip up and also happens to be egg-free and dairy-free. This cake is perfect for any occasion that requires cake. The texture is just like traditional vanilla cake. It is just 5 ingredients and doesn’t require eggs, butter or milk, but you can’t even tell.
This vanilla cake is so easy to make and comes out soft, fluffy and moist.
