Easy eggless chocolate cake

Most of my Foodgasm posts tend to be non-vegetarian dishes. That is just me. But I do look to add recipes for dishes that strike me as being a touch above the normal. And one of the dishes we made at home that definitely fits that criteria is this outstanding Easy-to-Make Eggless Chocolate Cake.

We are only on to the second picture of seven and already I need to ask you - "Have you started drooling yet?" 
Because I promise you that by the time you see picture 7, you will be. (It is a different matter that you may also be cursing me!!)

Expect to see the odd food recipe like this at Godyears too - all prepared by my mother - from recipes she has collected as far back as the 1980's - with some unique to Kerala cuisine and some variations of international dishes. 
Since the goal is to share, I will be looking to make all the recipes into easy downloadable single images as well so that you can save them on to your mobile/device and use them offline. Of course, if you do try them out, it would be awesome if you gave me (and her) feedback here on what you thought of the dish.

For the list of all the recipes so far (including seafood, egg dishes, sweets, twists on traditional dishes et al), click here:

Ah yes, Picture 7. Well, this is how we had it at home:

Almond & Praline ice cream +
Belgian Chocolate ice cream +
Watermelon jelly +
Hershey's Chocolate syrup... only.

  5. Yes, definitely evil you are! The image and the recipe were the first things I laid my eyes on today morning. The milk boiled over while I was drooling at the images. I will forgive you only because the recipe is very simply fantastic and eggless....brownie points for that! Sigh....cleaning spilled milk is not so fun!
