Ah, yes. This is an old recipe. Even Peg Bracken had it in her I Hate to Cook Book or something like that. She called it Cock-Eyed Cake. I also made this, and of course, one late night, a woman gave this recipe out on a talk show. I tried it right away, it was in the early 1980's, and I liked it. I have not made this crazy cake in a long time. Wacky Cake, Crazy Cake, Cock-Eyed Cake, whatever you call it, it is a good old recipe, pretty foolproof, even for a blind person.
