I've not done a lot of baking in my life but since I'm home, I've become more adventurous.
Yesterday I made this "Depression Cake." It was easy and it turned out very good.
I'm impressed with myself.
Today - bread making in the dutch oven!

What is a depression cake? You have peaked my curiosity.........

I saw that on-line and I thought it looked tasty, but am too lazy to make it. Is it a dense, heavy cake or light? I would love to try it!

I made this last week and I didn't know it was called Depression cake. I used olive oil and vinegar and it came out light and has a rich taste. Also, didn't have to use a mixer either.

I also recently made this one (Snickerdoodle Crazy Cake). We didn't like the sugar/cinnamon on top, so next time, I will leave that off. What we DID like was the hot caramel topping and ice cream on it!

@hick Is that an eggless cake? That is what my SO's mother called a Depression Cake and it is delicious!!

This is sometimes called a wacky cake, ( google it ). It is ridiculously easy, and so moist and chocolately, that you don't need frosting.
