This is great. Made it for a co-worker who is allergic to eggs and the entire staff loved it. Made it again for my hubby's bday and it was a hit. Now I'm on the third make in 2 months and it's so simple to make and clean up and tastes GREAT. I even replaced the oil with unsweetened applesause to make it "fat free" and still delicious! ENJOY!!

I mixed this in the pan as suggested. I used 1 teaspoon of orange extract for the vanilla and added a tablespoon of orange zest. The cake is very chocolate, moist and transports easy. Took it to work and everyone enjoyed. This is definately a repeat. Thanks!
