About Wacky Cake:
Wacky cake is something that is quick and can be made with most common of ingredients in the pantry. This recipe comes out of the Great Depression, in the mid-1930’s when butter, eggs and milk were out of reach of most people’s budgets. It is very reminiscent of recipes I discovered while researching my cookbook, Comida Cubana and reminds me of the recipes of TV cooking show personality, Nitza Villapol. She is in many ways, the Cuban Julia Child, who taught a nation to cook at home. In Cuba, after the revolution of 1959, Villapol became famous for creatively doing more with less. Virtually every Cuban home I visited had a cherished copy of her cookbook, Cocina al Minuto. Read more about Nitza in this excerpt from Comida Cubana.
