One Pan Eggless Chocolate Cake

Based on a recipe from The Wholesome Junk Food Cookbook by Laura Trice. She says of this recipe, “This eggless cake is called a one pan cake because everything is mixed together in the baking pan. It makes for easy cleanup.” VARIATION: To make 14 whoopie pie halves, double the recipe except for the water. Drop ¼ cup batter on a baking sheet lined with wax paper and bake for about 20 minutes.
