This is another version of the Wacky Chocolate Cake - called Wacky Spice Cake. Again, there's no eggs and this cake is amazing with a white icing, even a cream cheese icing would be really rich and yummy!

Wacky Spice Cake

Combine in a large bowl:

1.5 c flour
1 c brown sugar
salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ginger
0.5 tsp cinnamon
0.5 tsp ground cloves
0.5 tsp allspice

Add to above:

1 c water
1 Tbsp vinegar
5 Tbsp oil
vanilla

Optional - Raisins

Mix well. Bake in a greased 9x9 pan for 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees farenheit

Wacky Cake! A Recipe from the War...

http://www.etsy.com/listing/69312724/handmade-happy-birthday-card

This a great recipe that apparently had its origins in the war when eggs were rationed - the resourceful bakers came up with a way to get a fabulous cake without using eggs. In my house this type of cake has always been called Wacky Cakes and they are quite often made for quick birthday cakes as well as really good mini cupcakes.

Wacky Chocolate Cake

Combine together in a bowl:

1.5 c flour (I use white - it's a treat)

1 c white sugar

salt

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

3 Tbsp cocoa

Add to dry:

1 c water

1 Tbsp vinegar

5 Tbsp oil

vanilla

Mix until lumps are gone. Bake in a greased 9x9 pan for 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees farenheit. For the mini muffins I bake for approximately 10 minutes - watch them and use a toothpick to see if they're done.
