How to Make Eggless Chocolate Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan or two 8-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda, and ¾ teaspoon salt.
  3. Add 1 cup vegetable oil, 2 teaspoons white vinegar, 1 cup water, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the dry ingredients.
  4. Mix on medium speed for 2 minutes, until just combined. The batter will be thin.
  5. Pour batter into prepared pan(s).
  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.
  8. For the frosting: In a medium saucepan, whisk together ¼ cup all-purpose flour and 1 ½ cups milk.
  9. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle boil. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  10. In a large bowl, cream together ½ cup (1 stick) margarine, ½ cup shortening, and 2 cups powdered sugar for 4 minutes until light and fluffy.
  11. Add the cooled flour-milk mixture and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the creamed mixture. Beat for another 4 minutes until smooth and creamy.
  12. Once the cake is completely cool, frost generously. Create swirls and garnish with chocolate shavings or sliced strawberries for an elegant touch.
  13. Enjoy your delicious and impressive eggless chocolate cake!
