Recession Cakes

May 3, 2025 By Gretchen

In the wake of all the uncertainly going on we definitely have to make some adjustments.

This is not a fun topic to discuss and I know cake may not be on your list of must haves in the grand scheme of things
But in a world where everything seems to be doom & gloom, sometimes we need a bit of comfort.

Depression Cakes also known as wacky cakes in easier times, are making their rounds again 

Since they do not require any ingredients that you don’t already have
And they whip up in one bowl in minutes you can instantly bring a bit of joy to an otherwise gloomy situation!

Additionally ingredients like cocoa powder and chocolate could become a luxury item

With the cost of everything skyrocketing you may have to decide how to ration your ingredients over the next who knows how long
*sad face emoji 🙁
Here are some classic cake recipes that will not break the bank
* While the recipes are pictured with icing believe me each of these cake recipes are fantastic on their own!
