Yes, a simple chocolate cake using no eggs. A Crazy Chocolate Cake to be more accurate. An old recipe from the past when eggs were at a premium, just like today. About the only crazy thing I recognize, other than there are no eggs in this cake, is the fact that I have never had a can of cocoa powder in my kitchen… ever. I have never cooked or baked with it but decided that I needed to give it a try when I saw this recipe. In true simplequietmodern  fashion it went together quickly with a bowl and a wooden spoon…no power tools needed. Who’s going to argue with a deep rich chocolate cake made from scratch?  The frosting? What do you think?  Something white and fluffy like a classic vanilla buttercream or more chocolate like a Sour Cream Ganache? For now I think I’ll go with a little whipped cream and some berries.
