I was looking for chocolate cake recipes that were easy + simple to make without egg. I tried this one the other night, substituted the golden syrup for maple syrup (it was all I had!) and added big chunks of cherry ripe into the batter. I must say that this was the easiest cake I've ever made, and it came out perfect. It tasted delicious, and it was really rich so you can only eat a small slice at a time! The frosting came out perfect as well, which surprised me because I've always had trouble creating the perfect frosting. I'd really recommend this recipe to anyone!
