Mix together flour, baking soda and salt. Add in syrup, water and oil.
Mix (I mix until there are no more bumps), pour into cupcake holders and bake for 23 minutes (mini cupcakes) 24 minutes (regular cupcakes).
Notes
My son is on a very limited diet of 10 foods and this is a very quick and easy cake for him. This is modified from the original Wacky Cake recipe.
Substitutions
I use olive oil and Prefer Grade B Syrup.
Gluten: Gluten is a protein found in specific grains (wheat, spelt, kamut, barley, rye). Other grains are naturally gluten-free but may have cross-contact with gluten-containing grains. Look for certified gluten-free products if you need to avoid gluten. Find out more about wheat and gluten substitutions.
