History of the crazy cake

You’d never know that this cake has no milk, butter or eggs because it’s so soft, moist and delicious, hence it being called a ‘crazy chocolate cake’. This cake was often made during the Great Depression when milk was hard to come by.

    This so AMAZING! This is a dish that I would totally make for myself and probably keep for myself. My grandmother used to make something similar when I was a little girl.
