SO HOW'D IT GO?
i haven't made this version of this recipe, but wacky cake is like... our family's birthday cake traditional recipe! mine doesn't call for applesauce, but obviously that's healthier than the shortening it does call for. weird! i never knew anyone else who had had this before, at least by the same name!
i only get it once a year, boo hoo... when i tried to make it one a whim a few weeks ago, it turned out terrible. apparently only my mom has the true secret!
The cake it simple to make, not too sweet, and stays together well!! The taste is pretty typical for vegan cakes.
