Apple Wacky Cake (No Eggs, Milk or Butter)
This Apple Wacky Cake is moist, simple, and full of warm apple spice flavor. Made without eggs, milk, or butter, it’s a vintage Depression-era favorite.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup white granulated sugar

Instructions
- Whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg in a bowl.

- Spray a 8x8 or 9x9 baking dish with cooking spray and add the batter.
- Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 40 to 45 minutes until center tests done.
