This is Mom's favorite chocolate cake. Easy to make and has a little different twist. Also has no eggs or dairy products. Pick your favorite frosting for the top--Mom likes 7-minute the best.

I love this recipe! It is my "go-to" solution for an easy chocolate cake. Seeing as it doesn't require eggs or milk or butter, It's easy to make when you're on a low budget!!

    Made this for Easter, My four year old is allergic to eggs, and no-egg egg substitute doesn't always work well... So we gave this a go. It was amazing. I am making it again for a church social. Thanks for posting this!

    Made this tonite and it was soooo easy. The texture is wonderful, a little heavy, almost a brownie like texture. It is not overly chocolatey or sweet, which was perfect with the buttercream frosting I used. I did not have a square pan, so I used a 9" round pan and it took 30 minutes. Very good recipe for a quick, snack cake! Thanks P.S. I am posting a picture which I am sure will not do it justice, but you can still see it looks pretty tasty.
