my mom made wacky a lot. We made it in a 8" glass pan and baked it at 325°  No mixing in another bowl. The oil in the cake keeps this a nice moist cake that doesnt stick to the pan. We frosted a bit after taking it out of the oven, not immediately.  Frequently we'd eat it in a bowl and pour milk (2% at least) on it as it makes a nice lite chocolaty milk to drink while eating the cake. mmm..
