Snickerdoodle Crazy Cake

Snickerdoodle Crazy Cake

Snickerdoodle crazy cake is a quick and easy cake that doesn’t require eggs, butter or milk. It doesn’t even need a mixing bowl! What!?! The cake is made with just things that you already have in your pantry. 

Crazy Cake was born in the era of the Great Depression, a time when people had to turn a little into a lot. Crazy Cake was one such feat of ingenuity, a recipe that used no milk, butter, or eggs at all but still produced a sweet, moist and delicious cake. You will usually see it as a chocolate cake, but here we’ve turned it into a sugary-cinnamon snickerdoodle version. Like the traditional one, it uses no perishable ingredients but you still end up with one amazing cake.

What makes this Crazy Cake’s amazing is that you use what you have in your pantry. It’s a great way to make a yummy treat for your family, when you think you don’t have anything to create a dessert. I do love that you mix it all up in the baking dish. You don’t even need to dirty a mixing bowl!

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Spray an 8″x 8″ baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.

Place dish on the middle rack of oven for approximately 35 minutes.

While the cake is baking, mix in a small bowl the cinnamon and sugar for the topping.

Check center of cake with toothpick to make sure it comes out clean. While the cake is still warm, sprinkle cinnamon sugar evenly over top. Allow to cool before serving. A big scoop of ice cream takes it to another level!
