The Best Eggless Chocolate Cake

Eggless chocolate cake is a good contender for Christmas in my home. Read on and see why….

At every special occasion, there is most likely a cake. There is always a cake for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, and family gatherings. Christmas is no different. During Christmas, there are many types of cakes we make, though the most popular are sponge cake and the black fruit cake. 

Chocolate cakes are not so popular during the Christmas season. I mean, there is hardly a cake that could trump a tasty black fruit cake. That is why I can bravely say that this eggless chocolate cake could knock the black fruit cake from its pedestal. Okay! Well, maybe temporarily. Here’s why.

What is special about this chocolate cake? Everything. It is an eggless dessert.  It is extremely easy to prepare (it is prepared in less than 20 minutes).  You will find the cake filled with lots of tasty chocolate goodness. The important ingredients are chocolate powder and Hershey’s semi-sweet chocolate kisses.  You see, a chocolate cake is a special cake.

The  Making of Eggless Chocolate Cake

This eggless chocolate cake is a kid friendly recipe. Each step is simple. The steps does not include creaming of the sugar and butter, yet the cake is light and gives a beautiful smooth cut. Instead, the butter is melted – please do not let it boil. The butter and the Hershey kisses melt easily.  You can use the heat of the pot to help the butter continue melting when it reaches softens.

Cakes like this are made the same way quick breads are made. The liquid ingredients are combined and poured into the dry ingredients. That’s it!  You see, it is quite a simple recipe.   Here is the method to make this eggless chocolate cake. Enjoy!
