CHOCOLATE CRAZY CAKE (NO EGGS, MILK, BUTTER OR BOWLS)

For years, my youngest one never had cake because of her egg allergy. I know there are worse things in life…but no cake? That just stinks. She never had REAL cake until my good friend shared her mom’s Chocolate Crazy Cake recipe with me four years ago – also known as Wacky Cake. This cake has no eggs. No eggs?! Huh?! How can you make cake without eggs?! The recipe didn’t even call for an electric mixer! When my girlfriend gave me the recipe, all I could think was how will it taste like real cake? It can’t be possible.

Within minutes of her sharing the recipe, I whipped up the cake while talking to her on the phone. I could not believe how easy the cake was to make. No bowls. No mess. I mixed everything in the baking pan. AWESOME.  When the cake was done, frosted, ready to eat…I could not believe how moist it was. It was crazy good!  Better than any box cake I’ve ever had. My daughter LOVED it! I think I shed a tear or two when she had her first bite. I was so happy she finally got to see what REAL cake tastes like.
