Eggless chocolate cake.

I wanted to share this recipe.

 I had a bad craving for chocolate cake but I didn't have any eggs - or so I thought!

This was really yummy only I made a few modifications because I didn't care if it was low calorie I just wanted yummy chocolate!!

It is a heavy dough and needs to be cooked longer. It's a bit more like a pudding.

You will need:

approx 150grams margarine

1 cup of sugar

5 tablespoons of applesauce

vanilla essence

2 cups of SR flour

2 teaspoons of baking soda

1 tablespoon of cornflour

1/2 cup of cocoa powder

Method:

place marg in mixer on high add sugar till smooth

add apple sauce 1 spoonful at a time till blended

sift dry ingredients in a separate bowl

put mixer on low speed

add dry ingredients on spoonful at a time or flour will go everywhere as I learn from experience!! :)

Give each spoonful time to mix in as the mixture appears dry at first but soon mixes to a wet dough.

Place mix in a lined tin and bake for 35 -45 mins till skewer comes out clean.

Note!

My cake was a little dry and the above was how I made it. I would suggest another 1 or 2 teaspoons of apple sauce or cook it for 5 - 10 mins less depending on your oven.

This is a really sweet recipe. Applesauce was used as a substitute for butter and sugar to make the recipe healthier, in the recipe I was using as a guide. Here is the link.

Very different you'll see. Make sure you read the comment down the bottom for how to improve it.

I might try the healthy version next time.

I was happy to just get a chocolate fix!! So yum with ice cream!
