Rich and easy egg free chocolate cake
Recipe by:
lisajohnst
My parents own a traditionally-run sheep farm in the Falkland Islands. Cruise ship tourists come to visit and enjoy the experience. I cook this chocolate cake for my mum to serve to her visitors. It's simple and delicious and was given to me by my friend's mum because my son is allergic to egg.

I have just made this recipe in Muffin tins, and cooked it for 18 minutes. They are sooooo good! I can see this will be a very versatile recipe for my egg-free boyfriend. I half filled each hole then, put a 1/2 a piece of peppermint chocolate on, then topped with the rest of the mixture. So yummy fresh out of the oven! Thanks for the recipe

I've been trying to find a decent egg-free cake recipe for about a year now and at last I've found it. Just made this tonight. It was really easy and tasted great. Took about 40 mins in a loaf tin. So pleased because I will actually be able to make a birthday cake for my little boy

Great recipe..... thank you. You saved the day!
Mine cooked in 30 mins. Any more time and it would have dried out and burnt.

This was a delicious, moist and Moorish cake, the whole family loved it thank you. I looked up recipes without eggs as i just didn't have any in and this was a great pudding accompanied by custard.

really good recipe. I replaced milk and butter with dairy free versions. Also put cocoa in with wet ingredients which made it mix well.
Must agree with others re timings - put mine in a square 20cm tin and it was perfect in 25 minutes!
