Do I have to use milk in the frosting? I don’t keep milk in the house, can I use water?

This cake did NOT taste like it had no eggs, milk, or butter. It came out so flavorful and moist. I’ll definitely make it again. 🙂

I’ve made this as a carrot cake – was amazing!
Omit the cocoa & add to the dry mix –
1tsp each ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg (or spice to yr taste) & add a packed cup of grated carrot when u add the water, combine & cook the same as the choc cake.
Am about to try banana cake….

This recipe is perfect. I thought the 2tsp of vinegar was a typo as most of the other recipes I reviewed said tbl. Nope…I stuck with the plan and the cake is to die for!
I found my Great-Grandma’s recipe while this cake was baking and it has the tbl of vinegar and uses butter instead of oil. We are doing a taste test for my Momma’s 80th birthday.
I like this recipe better 😉

I made this with whole wheat flour and it was still delicious. Thank you so much for the metric measurements!

In reply to Joi. I have just tried the recipe and I wanted to make vanilla initially. Next time I’ll try it plain and also one with blueberry version as well too see how the variations go. Thanks to your comment

Have used this recipe for 50+ years but for a 9×13. Sometimes I omit the cocoa and have a white cake. Very good and always moist. Called a wacky cake bc no eggs or milk.

Made this cake today and it was absolutely fantastic! I used Country Crock Plant Butter sticks and oat milk in the frosting instead of cow’s milk/butter. WOW!!!! I don’t even like frosting but I licked the spoon clean. After my husband’s first bite, he exclaimed, “This frosting is so good!”. Cake was fantastic as well. My new GO-TO chocolate cake recipe!
