Strawberry Crazy Cake You Can Make Without Eggs, Milk, Or Butter

Have y’all tried our Vanilla Crazy Cake? It contains no eggs, milk, or butter, and it is so yummy!

This is a STRAWBERRY version of the Crazy Cake, also known as Wacky Cake or Depression Cake.

These cakes became popular during the Great Depression when eggs and dairy products were expensive and hard to come by — kind of like now.

They are also great for people with food allergies. EVERYONE will love them!

Sometimes we just need a quick and delicious way to satisfy our sweet tooth, and this is it!

What You’ll Need To Make Strawberry Crazy Cake:

• 1 1/2 Cups All-Purpose Flour
• 1 3-Ounce Box of Strawberry Gelatin
• 1 Cup Sugar
• 1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
• 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
• 1 Teaspoon White Vinegar
• 5 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil
• 1 1/2 Teaspoons Strawberry Extract
• 1 Cup Water

How To Make Strawberry Crazy Cake:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix the flour, gelatin, sugar, baking soda, and salt in a greased 8″ square baking pan. Your mixture will be pink.

Make 3 depressions in the dry ingredients – two small and one large. Pour the vinegar and vanilla in each of the two smaller depressions, and the vegetable oil in the large one.

Mix water and Strawberry Extract. Pour mixture over the entire thing and mix until smooth.

Bake on the middle rack of the oven at 350 degrees for 35 minutes. 

Let it cool, then top with your favorite frosting! If you want to get CRAZY, put some white chocolate shavings, and fresh strawberries on top. Enjoy!
