EGGLESS CHOCOLATE CAKE (NO EGGS OR BUTTER)

This easy chocolate cake doesn’t contain eggs or butter and is so easy to make. Everything is mixed in one bowl. The cake comes out very moist and chocolatey and can be made with just pantry staples.

I’m always looking for ways to simplify recipes. I love how easy it is to make this chocolate cake and I especially love that I don’t need eggs or butter to make it. It still comes out incredibly moist and chocolatey. I didn’t miss the eggs, butter (and extra calories) at all.

CAKE TEXTURE

This cake has the same texture as regular chocolate cake. It’s also sturdy enough that you can use it to make a layered cake.
