Wacky Cake can be made gluten free with this Gluten Free Wacky Cake recipe!
Wacky cake is not your typical cake. It got its name from the fact that it is not your normal cake recipe. It doesn’t contain milk, eggs, or butter. It has vinegar in it which most cakes don’t have.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk corn starch into milk until smooth. Stir milk into butter mixture and whisk until well-blended. Stirring constantly, cook over medium heat until thickened (about 5 minutes or so) and remove from heat. Stir three cups of shredded cheese into sauce until melted; reserve one cup of cheese for topping.

Wacky Cake is also known as Crazy Cake or Depression cake. The recipe originated back in the days when ingredients were hard to get.
A recipe like Wacky Cake worked during both the Depression and WWII because it was a simple cake that contained no butter, no eggs, and no milk. Those ingredients were hard to find making dessert a special occasion.

A Wacky made it easy to make an inexpensive dessert using ingredients that you had on hand.
The traditional way to mix this cake is very different than your normal cake. Instead of beating the ingredients together in a bowl, you make this all in the pan that you bake it in.
I am not sure what the purpose of this was, but I am guessing it was to make it a one pan recipe. This keeps you from washing extra dishes.
HOW DO I MAKE WACKY CAKE GLUTEN FREE?
It is easy to make gluten free by using a gluten free flour blend. That is basically all I did to change the traditional Wacky Cake to a Gluten Free Wacky Cake. I use Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten Free Blend, but I am sure other gluten free blends would work as well.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 gluten free flour blend or another gluten free flour blend
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup baking cocoa
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 5 tablespoons oil
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup water
- powdered sugar, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Grease an 8 inch square pan.
- In the 8x8 pan or a mixing bowl combine gluten free flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, and salt.
- In in flour mixture make one large crater and two small ones.
- Add oil to large crater. Add vinegar to one small crater and vanilla to the other one.
- Pour water over entire mixture.
- With a wooden spoon mix all together until mixture is well combined and no streaks remain.
- If mixing in a bowl spread batter into greased pan.
- Bake for 30 minutes.
- Let cake cool and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
Notes
The traditional wacky cake has you making the cake batter in the pan that you cook it in. I find that I can mix it better in a bowl and then spread the batter into the pan. You can make it the traditional way or mix it in a bowl.
