Comments

  1. This is a no fail cake – when I was a kid, learning how to cook, it was called a Cock-Eyed Cake and the only difference was you made 3 holes in the mix for the liquids and then stirred it together. Made a lot of these (to the point where my family got sick of them . . . ) Nice to see it in a jar form and easy instructions for those non bakers! We used a small baking pan for it – 8″ x 8″ and from what I remember, no oiling or flouring the pan . . .

  2. My friends are rubbish at baking and I can’t wait to give them one of these crazy cakes.

  3. This seems like a great website I love baking and will be giving my friends gift jars for their birthdays.

  4. 9×9 is perfect

  5. Wacky Cake, I learned this recipe in 8th grade. Its a great moist cake, no eggs no milk, but YUMMY YUMMY

  6. What size pan? And should it be greased and/or floured to start?
