Baking Chocolate Wacky Cake
Interested in a vintage chocolate cake recipe? Chocolate Wacky Cake, or Depression Cake, dates back to the rationing and shortages of the post-World War II and Great Depression era. It is vegan because it contains no eggs or dairy, but makes a moist, light cake appropriate for special occasions or any time a dessert is needed. PNW Suburban Homesteading demonstrates both the plain cake and a cheesecake and chocolate chip filled cupcake version.

    Both the cupcakes and the cake cake turned out soooo tasty.

    For filling cupcakes, I like using an ice cream scoop that has the thumb lever for scraping batter (or ice cream) out the scoop. Nice apron, by the way. ;)

    Interesting, every yeast bread recipe I’ve ever worked with limits it to two risings. First time I’ve seen one require three, but it must work if it’s a family recipe that’s been passed down this long.

    • @PNWSuburbanHomesteading

      It is a very old recipe. It might be fun to look at other vintage bread recipes. I know this one takes more time than the modern recipes for bread that I use. I’ll have to investigate!

    The hot tallow smells exactly like the chippy shops did in Scotland. So I’m pretty sure the fish & chips are fried in beef fat. Which explains why they were so good!

  • @Shonna-Z
    @Shonna-Z 21 день назад

    I’ve been playing around with the recipe a bit, and discovered that you get different textures by melting the butter and sugar together, versus melting the butter first, and then adding the sugar. The first method gives you the traditional, crunchy, slightly sticky toffee, while the other one makes it a bit more like a meltaway toffee.

    • @PNWSuburbanHomesteading

      I thought of that, like with bulbs. The rhizomes were not really developed enough. I just think I need much larger pots for this. Good idea, though. It probably will be the case when I do this again.

    Dark roast coffee has more robust flavor, but a lighter roast will have more caffeine. Caffeine molecules break down in high heat, so the longer the beans are roasted, the more caffeine will burn off.

    I may be a lowly knitter rather than a crocheter, but my trick when I accidentally cut the yarn tail a little short once I’ve cast off is to weave the tapestry needle through the row of stitches first, leaving just the eye of the needle sticking out.
