So decided to bake a dessert for dinner tonight and ice the cake a bit later once it cools.
I planned to do this earlier but had a bit of problem with the pellet grill due to some really low quality pellets but I got it all cleaned out and filled up with new pellets. So baking the cake now.
I created my own chocolate frosting too. My wife said we had icing but I decided to check out some recipes and well I created my own recipe based off a few different ones. The original recipe did not have chocolate and a lot less milk and less flour.
I never made a cake before but depression cake is so simple and not very ingredient rich.
Apparently it has been called Depression Chocolate Cake, wacky cake, war cake, and a whole bunch of other names but all the recipes are pretty much the same thing. Seems to be very little difference. Some have icing and some don't and I did see one suggesting throwing powdered sugar over the top by dusting it over it.
Still trying to get my wife to agree to eat Hoover Stew but I guess she has her limits. :laugh:
