Good Afternoon dear readers, here's is the third recipe from "The do or diner series". Originally it was called a wacky cake but I did some research on this cake. This recipe was handed down from generations to generations and first appeared during the depression. This is were homemakers had to get creative in making their baked goods because their was no milk and eggs. To get a chemical reaction in the cake they used vinegar and baking soda. I was really surprised you can't taste the vinegar at all, nothing but chocolatey goodness. I was intrigued because the murder mystery talked about it being a regional cake. I'm from the pacific coast and had never heard of it. Anyone else here of a wacky cake. If you haven't checked out the murder mystery its a really good story dealing with family, history and of course murder. I've adapted this recipe to fit my families needs. Oh almost forgot this recipe is perfect for those of you who are allergic to eggs and milk. Hope you enjoy it please hit the yumm button on the side bar thank you.
