The first cake I ever baked was an Eggless chocolate cake… my mom and I love chocolate cake.

Let me let you in on a secret… when you eat the cake, you don’t even know that there are no eggs in it…if my own opinion the cake is lighter and softer and even more moist that a cake that has egg in.

This is the basic cake  that I use most of the time and then I just decorate it to my hearts content.
