Angie's Eggless Cake

My daughter is allergic to eggs, and I searched forever to find a decent birthday cake recipe for her first birthday (trust me, there are a lot of stinkers on recipezaar). This simple cake came out moist and flavourful! No mixer necessary- you can make this one using a bowl and spoon in just a few minutes.
