Crazy Cake!

I’m not joking – you can prep this amazingly moist chocolate cake in less than five minutes.  You don’t even use a bowl.

I know what you all are thinking – healthy eating with a cup of sugar?!  I hear you.  (And I need to preface this by saying I’m not a nutritionalist – none of us are) But I believe in burnout.  One can become exhausted by over doing anything.  So to avoid it, you need to pace yourself.  Eating healthy is paramount, obviously, but every once and awhile you need to treat yourself!  So why not do it with some crazy cake?  Ok, so this sounds like a justification, and it is, but I have a huge sweet tooth and I have to feel OK about posting this recipe to this particular forum.

This cake, however, isn’t my recipe.  It’s my Mom’s.  She found it over 30 years ago, as she said “when you were only a small boy and had never even heard of veganism, nor had I for that matter.”  Whenever I’m home visiting, I can be sure a crazy cake is waiting for me.

So on to the recipe.  Its super easy, really moist, I would bet you have all the ingredients in your pantry all ready and its a great recipe to do with the kids in your life!
