Sooooo happy that I decided to bake an eggless cake for my birthday. I had a sweet little 2 year old attending that is allergic to eggs. This was the BEST chocolate cake I've ever made. It was so moist, light, rich chocolate flavor...and SOOO easy! Easiest and best cake I've ever made. Not sure why anyone bakes with eggs after this. :) LOVE this cake. I am a routine recipe alterer (always have to tweak it) and I decided to stick to the recipe here (other than some of the tablespoons of chocolate were heaping tablespoons). So glad I did. I did in two 9" round pans (using same recipe). Only filled the pans 1/2 way up (probably not even an inch) so I watched the time carefully to not overdo the cooking (I hate that someone burnt taste some homemade cakes get on the outside). I think they still cooked close to 30 min, but were starting to look dark, so reduced the heat to 320 in the last 7 minutes or so. PERFECT! Rave reviews and requests for the recipe from all partygoers!

Thanks for this cake, my one yr olds bday party was a hit thanks to you, he has an egg allergy and this cake solved the problem! I made it with 1 and 3/4c sugar instead of 2, and I iced it with just simple homemade whipped cream (heavy cream and a mixer,) and it was great. No excess sugar that my little guy didn't need, and HE LOVED the whipped cream. Great cake, and easy to make!

Totally bad recipe! I made it and #1 it took FOREVER to bake all the way through and #2 it tasted only faintly of chocolate. Also, after eating only half a piece, I feel sick. I'm really glad I only baked it for us at home rather than for company, because I would be embarrassed to serve it to guests.
