Here is a recipe that is suitable for people who don’t eat eggs (vegetarian). Before you do anything else, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 C). Then get 8 x 8 inch square pan where you grease and sprinkle flour in the pan that is greased. Next, prepare the materials such as the measuring cups, tablespoon and teaspoons. Two large sizes of glass bowls where the batters are going to be mixed; one is for dry ingredients and the other is for liquid. The sifter, big spoons to get the dough, mixers machine, spatula and the ingredients.

After you get all the materials and ingredients then you can start pouring flour, sugar, 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, together into the large bowl. As we all know that the dry ingredients should always be together with other dry ingredients. Then after all the dry ingredients are put in the same bowl sift them into the other empty bowl. Although you have to sift it carefully so that it doesn’t spill to the table or to the floor. After you are done with the sifting then make a well in the center and add the water, oil, vinegar, and vanilla. Once you put all the wet ingredients, mix it thoroughly until there is no lumps effect. You have to mix well with the spatula to decrease sticky batter on the side of the bowl then mix it vigorously with a whisk or electric mixer for faster mixing. The result should be not to dry or too liquid it should be in the middle for its texture. After the batter is smooth enough get a 8” x 8” inch pan, wipe the inside with Crisco (shortening) this is to avoid the cake to stick after its baked. In addition, sprinkle flour on it for better result. Pour the batter into the pan carefully and level it out so that the result after it is baked would not be slanted. It should be perfect square and even out. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 C) for 1 hour or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. The best is to insert the toothpick in the middle of the cake and slowly take it out.

When it is done then let it cool at a room temperature then after its cooled remove it slowly from the pan. The best thing is to put in a flat plate. This cake is good with frosting too for a better flavor and texture although just plain is good too because the cake is dense. This is the result of not putting eggs on it that is the reason it did not puff and rise as much.

I had tried to make it for a birthday cake; I added frosting and perfect for a simple special birthday cake for my best friend.
