Directions
Old Fashioned Chocolate Cake With Glossy Chocolate Icing, Due to my time constraints, DH decided to make the birthday cake (his first ever) for our son We picked a recipe from Cuisine at Home magazine Wow, he did a great job after throwing away the first batch when he figured out there was a difference between the capital T and the lower case t! It was so moist and had a strong rich chocolate flavor – just like the old-timey diner or grandma’s favorite type chocolate cakes We all loved it! Also, this recipe has no eggs, for all those who are allergic to eggs Note – the time indicated does not include cooling time Chocolate cakes like this one have been enjoyed in all parts of the U S This recipe is dedicated to Oklahoma (Southwestern U S ) where you would find similar cakes in diners all along Route 66 , So easy to make, and yes, there are NO eggs in this recipe The oil makes it moist along with the water and vinegar And the icing is great I suggest that you cool the cakes and wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate It is good to to a thin crumb coat first Then proceed with frosting the cake , Can somebody confirm that there is not a typo–It really takes no EGG?
