Chocolate Banana Crazy Cake (No Butter, Eggs, Milk or Mess) ~ Inspired by the Depression Era Recipe (aka Wacky Cake) w/ GF Option


“But oh, Marilla, will you let me make a cake for the occasion?
I’d love to do something for Mrs. Allan,
and you know I can make a pretty good cake by this time.”
~ L. M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables

  2. This recipe looks and sounds delicious, JES, as do the others in this series. I plan on trying these when we gather together with our children and grandchildren. as they can feed a lot. Otherwise I could try and half the recipe for just my dh and me.😊 I wonder if the recipes in this series could be used for cupcakes instead of sheet cake.? I may try that, too. Enjoy your visiting! ~ Lynne
