If you’ve ever run out of baking staples right when the craving hits, you’re going to love this recipe. The Great Depression Cake—also known as Wacky Cake or Crazy Cake—was born out of tough times when ingredients like eggs, milk, and butter were hard to come by. Sound familiar? Whether you’re watching your grocery budget, avoiding animal products, or just want a simple treat without the fuss, this cake is here for you.

I love how something so rich, moist, and chocolaty could come from such humble roots—and it just so happens to be accidentally vegan. No weird substitutes, no fancy flours. Just everyday pantry items mixed together into something surprisingly delicious. Let’s bring this classic back to life with a plant-based twist that honors the past and satisfies the present.

Is it even a cookout without potato salad? I didn’t think so! But if you’re plant-based like me, you know that traditional potato salad can be a no-go with all the mayo and eggs. That’s why I had to come up with my own version—one that’s creamy, flavorful, and 100% vegan-approved.

This vegan potato salad brings all the nostalgic vibes without any of the dairy. It’s the kind of dish that makes you go back for seconds (and maybe thirds), and it’s always a hit at family gatherings—even with the non-vegans. It’s simple to make, super satisfying, and perfect for picnics, BBQs, or honestly, just a random Tuesday night.
