About this Custom Cook

No eggs? No butter? No milk? No problem! This chocolate wacky cake is a super simple and delicious cake that comes together very quickly. Wacky cake was originally created during the depression era when eggs and milk were hard to come by. It got the name "wacky" because all of the ingredients are mixed directly in the baking pan- no bowl needed! Feel free to top this with whatever frosting you would like.

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (any type of flour will work as well)
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup unsweetened Dutch-processed cocoa powder
