Well, I officially have a 10 year old! It may be a weird time in our world to be having a birthday, but you better be damn sure that I wasn’t about to let anything get in the way of my daughter having the BEST time while turning the big 1-0.

My inspiration for this cake came with us deciding to have a ‘disco dance party’ for the birthday. And what goes better with disco other than tie-dye. Between that and remembering my Dark Chocolate ‘Crazy Cake’ so fondly, I decided to put the two together.

It’s called a ‘crazy cake’ or ‘wacky cake’ because of it being made without eggs, milk, or butter. The idea for these sorts of cakes was a trick that they used during the great depression when they wanted to make a good cake, but couldn’t get their hands on some of those pantry basics. …Kind of like how it is right now in the world.

Don’t let that fool you though, this cake is honestly one of my favorite ways to make cake. It’s delicious, moist and tender with just the right amount of sweet.
