I’d been planning to make a chocolate cake, and I remembered a recipe we used to make years ago from Peg Bracken’s hilarious I Hate to Cook Book.
She called it “Cockeyed Cake,” and the recipe relies on a combination of vinegar and baking soda for leavening instead of eggs. Sounds weird, I know, but the resulting cake is moist and chocolatey, with absolutely no hint of the odd ingredients. It’s also super easy to make. When we brought the cake out and I whispered to my son’s friend that the cake didn’t include eggs, his face brightened and he said, “This is a first!” Fudgy, Moist, Eggless Chocolate Cake with Milk Chocolate Ganache Glaze 3 cups all-purpose flour 2 cups sugar 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 2 teaspoons baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 3/4 cup vegetable oil 2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 2 cups cold water Enjoy!
