Looks great--love this is plant-based as I have a family history of Cancer so need to avoid the estrogen and possible BLV in dairy and the lead and choline in eggs. Thanks for sharing

I'm glad I can help with your plant-based journey!

My Mom's recipe from 60 years ago was called No Egg Crazy Cake and had slightly different ratios but basically the same. It is a moist, heavy cake that people really enjoy and it seems men appreciate it over the lighter cakes. We used to love to pour the vinegar onto the soda and watch it foam. 😋 Here's Mom's.
3 cups flour
2 cups sugar
½ cup cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 tablespoons vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
¾ cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups cold water
