Vanilla Cockeyed Cake ( no eggs, butter or milk)-The name says it all! An easy vanilla that is mixed and baked up right in the same baking pan. Top it with your favorite frosting for a delicious weeknight dessert.
A few years ago, I came across a recipe for the easiest chocolate cake ever. I found it from a cookbook from circa 1960. It’s simple and really amazing.
Today, I sharing a vanilla version of that really easy cake! Side Note: These are sometime referred to as crazy cakes or wacky cakes. 🙂
What Ingredients are Needed?
- Flour + Baking soda+ Salt
- Sugar
- Oil ( canola or vegetable)
- Vanilla
- White vinegar ( or apple cider vinegar)
- Water
No Eggs? No Butter? No Milk? NO! This cake does not need any of them.
How to Make It:
- First, grease an 8 x 8 baking dish.
- Then, lightly mix your dry ingredients in the pan. Yes..in the pan.
- Make three wells in the dry ingredients. They should be about the size of a tablespoon or just a bit larger for the oil.
- In the first well, add the vanilla. The second, the vinegar. The third, the oil.
- Pour water on top of it all. Then, mix it until no dry spots are left.
- Bake.
I topped ours with a can of vanilla frosting. But, this cake will match up with any flavor of frosting…canned or homemade. So, go with your favorite.
Enjoy-
