A tip from Mom on the Crazy Cake. Don't overcook it. It drys out. I usually check the loaf size at about 45 minutes. Stick a toothpick in the center. If it comes out clean, it's done. Generally an hour is too long.
It's also called Crazy Cake because years ago when I was little, we made three wells in the cake and added liquids in each well. The baking soda and vinegar would react, bubbling up.
