White Wacky Cake

I found this recipe on the net and what a find it was! This is an excellent cake with all the attributes of a wacky cake plus new attributes of its own. Like all wacky cakes, it can be made in the ungreased pan and has no eggs. It is moist and easy to make, has excellent flavor and it perfect for strawberry (or any berry) shortcake. It takes well to any flavored frosting and even better if the frosting has nuts! It even makes good cupcakes, though I haven't tried this. I've read that this cake is a variation of something called Patrushka Cake. I think you'll love it.
