You’ve seen it online: “The cake that bakes in 15 minutes!” But here’s the truth—this isn’t magic, it’s a Depression-era miracle known as “Crazy Cake” (or “Wacky Cake”): a rich, moist, chocolate cake made with no eggs, no butter, no milk, and no mixer—just one bowl, 9 minutes of hands-on time, and a hot oven.
And the best part? It’s naturally vegan, pantry-friendly, and so decadent, no one will guess it’s missing the “essentials.” Ready in under an hour, it’s the ultimate weeknight dessert, last-minute gift, or “I need chocolate NOW” rescue.
Let’s bake a slice of history that’s crazy good—not crazy hard.
