Aunt Nellie’s Chocolate Cake Recipe (No Eggs!)

Lent is only a few days away, so if you are giving up chocolate (or not) I have a great recipe for cocoa lovers to get their fix! 

I live in farm country where eggs are normally plentiful and cheap, but I nearly fell over at the grocery store the other day when a dozen eggs were priced at $6.50!  Then, thankfully, I remembered Aunt Nellie’s recipe, and it is THE best chocolate cake, so moist and dark, with no eggs needed!  So, I thought I’d share this non-political, non-theological and probably not-so-secret recipe.

Sift 2 Cups of flour

1 ¼ Cup sugar

3 Tablespoons cocoa

2 Teaspoons Baking Soda

Add:

1 Cup Miracle Whip (or Mayo)

1 Cup boiling water

1 Teaspoon vanilla

Spread mixture in lightly greased and floured 9x9 pan

Bake at 350 for 35ish minutes (stick a toothpick in to see if it is ready)

Have a blessed season of Lent!
