Yum Jean! those variations sound fabulous. I agree, it really is the most moist cake I’ve ever eaten and it’s so darn easy to make!

O.K. so this is also one of our families favorites. I’ve made it for years. Another way I make it cause it’s sooo moist (we eat it w/out frosting!) is to just put ice cream on it or whipped topping. Or another of my favorites is to spoon Cherry Pie Filling on top of the cake and then add either ice cream or something like cool whip! Yum, it’s like an easy version of Black Forest Cake.
O.K. enough! I just ate lunch… I’m not hungry, I’m not hungry!

[...] Since I was finally going to crack open In the Sweet Kitchen, it seemed like the most logical choice would be to start with an easy recipe. All-in-the-Pan Chewy Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Butter Icing was the perfect confidence builder. The name pretty much says it all: you mix the batter up right in the baking dish and then it’s off to the races. [Kathy posted a link to her family's favorite birthday cake, which is essentially the same cake, except it includes a poured icing rather than a buttercream.] The resulting cake was every bit as presentable as one from a mix (high standards, I know), and even more delicious. It’s not a fancy, decadent dessert, but it is a tasty treat and it did strike me as the kind of thing you’re mom might give you as an extra special after-school snack. Maybe that’s why I felt the need to have a piece at around three every afternoon until it was gone, I don’t know. Oh, and this would also be a good one to whip up if you were bringing a meal to a friend, since you could mix and bake it in one of those disposable pans and send it on its merry way. [...]

This looks delicious. I love the idea of having the same cake every year. What a nice tradition, and what a great name!!!! I only had ice cream for my bday (Christmas Eve), maybe I will try a wacky cake next week, after the overly stuffed tummies have digested all of the latest goodies! Thanks for the recipe!

Thanks for posting this recipe. I made it this weekend for Bea’s half birthday and it was a big hit. And it is so incredibly easy that I can happily say it will become a tradition over here as well. Three cheers for wacky cake! (though I don’t see much wacky about it – cept that it’s so easy)

Hi Weirdbunny, I’m going to have to plead true ignorance on converting recipes. I googled for some easy conversion calculators only to visit sites that really made absolutely no sense to me. Can’t someone write a program that just reads a post and convert it for goodness sakes?! So, if any British friends have done this conversion please pass along the results and I’ll post them.
