I've been making this non-stop for all my egg-free cake needs. Last time replaced the water with milk, I think it tasted better. Really good with cream cheese frosting. Good egg-free cake recipe. Want to find more.

Excellent recipe. I made in a muffin pan for my daughter's class (one child is allergic to dairy), and it turned out moist and tasty. I replaced the water with Chocolate Soy Milk and left out the chocolate chips. Will keep this recipe!

This recipe was awesome. My daughter has multiple food allergies and this cake tasted soooo good! I also made my cake wheat free by using rice flour. Like many others I left out the chocolate chips. THANK YOU THANK YOU for this yummy allergy free (at least for my daughter) cake :-)

No More Crumbly Cakes for us!!!! My son is allergic to eggs and we have tried many, many egg replacements and egg-free recipes for cakes. All of the them came out crumbly (you had to freeze the cake to be able to ice it and then when you cut it,the cake feel apart). This recipe, i am happy to say, did not do that. It cut like a "normal" cake and tasted great too. The only change i made was using milk instead of water (since we dont have a milk allergy issue). It was wonderful in its texture and its flavor - we will be using this all the time!!

Wow. My son has severe food allergies and this recipe fit the birthday bill perfectly. Amazing thing is, no one could tell it was allergen-free because it was so moist and delicious. It kept well stored for days. Thanks.

This is the first egg free cake I have made that wasn't flat and didn't crumble and it was great! You wouldn't know it was 'free' of so much!

A marvellous recipe for allergy sufferers! My 'dairy and egg allergic' 3 year old son has at last tried his first, second, third and fourth slice of chocolate cake today. The only changes I made to the recipe were to use chocolate flavoured soya milk rather than water and I omitted the choc chips. Also I baked it for 40 minutes in a fluted ring. I noted some of the previous recommendations and made sure I whisked the milk into the dry mixture for a good 3 minutes to avoid grittiness. I've baked many chocolate cakes in the past, which have included egg and dairy and the only difference I would say is that this cake is 'very slightly' more like a brownie, but only slightly. Even so, it was DELICIOUS. I really can't understand how some people have failed with this easy recipe. I plan to use this recipe for my son's 4th birthday cake using a character shaped tin. I was tempted to use the 'No Egg' by Orgran but decided to try without first and see how I got on. I don't think it would have made any difference but I may at some point test that theory! I will definitely be using this recipe for many years to come, even if my son grows out of his allergies! Enjoy!

Hubby and I had much higher expectations from the reviews. We made it exactly as stated except we used extra virgin olive oil instead of vegetable oil. It also took us about 40 minutes until the tookpick came out clean. Hubby's comments: It's missing something, it didn't taste like cake but like a mix between a cookie and a brownie.

I too was skeptical with this recipe. The batter did not taste too good, but the cake was AWESOME! It is so moist and held together just fine! I did make it WHEAT FREE too. I used Bob's Gluten Free Red Mill Flour, added 3/4 tsp. of xanthan gum. I used canola oil and cane sugar instead of the white refined sugar. I also used dairy free semi-sweet chocolate chips and they melted just fine! I wouldn't leave them out in my opinion! I'll be making this again and again for my grandson! He loved it and everyone else did too! Now we can all eat the same dessert! THANK YOU!

I fixed this cake and I thought it was just ok. I made it with applesauce and oil. I don't know if I did something wrong, but the chocolate chips did not melt.
