Eggless Chocolate Cake?
Recently I tried using chocolate in some of my recipes. I tried a chocolate pudding that didn’t turn out quite so well. I liked it, but the kids didn’t like it, not as pudding any way. So I turned it to chocolate spread and voila! It was a huge hit.
I had never tried adding cocoa powder to anything before then and now, I have to be restrained from adding it to everything. LOL. I just love that rich flavour and the extra it gives to food. However, in all my experimentation, I have never tried baking cakes without eggs.
So eggless chocolate cake?
It’s strange, right? You never think of cake without eggs, I mean, almost everyone thinks that a cake just won’t work without eggs, at least I know I do. But it seems I was wrong and you can actually have mouth watering, yummy cakes without eggs. At least the folks at supermart.ng (who shared this recipe with us) certainly think so.
If you haven’t heard of supermart.ng, they are an online grocery shop that operate out of Nigeria. For now, I think they only deliver to Lagos so if you live there, go ahead and try ordering your groceries. It seems like a win-win for busy women. No more going to the market and you don’t have to stress about what you’re going to cook anymore. Just call supermart.ng. Sweet, right?
Okay, now on to today’s recipe.
