The Depression Cake began in the Depression era. The cake itself has no eggs or dairy in it. The plan for those times was to make food stretch as far as they could without using any of the ration coupons.
NOTE: By saving this recipe, you agree to join our weekly recipes newsletter.
The coupons allowed them to get so much sugar or other items that were needed. The women wanted to be able to feed their families and still give them cakes or desserts, they found ways to do so when money was scarce or non-existent.
This chocolate cake is moist, fluffy and very chocolatey. Very seldom would this cake have frosting on it back in those times. The Dairy, the powdered sugar were not items that were of importance when it came to feeding a hungry family in hard times.
You can make this cake plain and enjoy it just as much as you would with the frosting.
Frequently Asked Questions:
How can a Cake have no eggs?
I seriously cannot explain it in a way that would make sense. However, I will tell you it has to do with the way the vinegar and baking soda react with each other. All I will say definitively is that this cake is the perfect cake! I seldom buy box mixes anymore.
Could I leave the Cocoa Powder out of the recipe?
I imagine that would be okay, but you will need to replace at least some of the dry ingredients from the cocoa with flour.
Do I need to refrigerate this cake?
There is no dairy in the cake, so it would be perfectly okay sitting covered on your counter. Remember, not all families had refrigerators or ice boxes back in the Depression times.
Could I add nuts or chips to the cake?
You could definitely add nuts or cherries, or chocolate chips or whatever pleases you in this recipe. Share what you added so we all can try.
