Today, I bake 2 chocolate cakes for my son, he has been asking me to bake it since yesterday but I didn't have time. I have been trying many recipes on chocolate cakes but this is by far the most surprisingly delightful moist cake. There is one more thing you would like about this cake, it does not require any egg(s) in the ingredient. It is great for adults and for kids ages 3 and up.
Ingredients :
1½ Cups of all-purpose flour
3 Tablespoons of Hershey Cocoa (or any good quality cocoa powder)
1 Teaspoon of baking soda
1 Cup of white or brown sugar
½ Teaspoon of salt (optional)
5 Tablespoons of olive oil (can substitute with any veg. oil or canola oil)
1 Tablespoon of white vinegar
1 Teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 Cup of cold water
Direction:
1. Put the flour into mixing bowl, add cocoa, baking soda, sugar and salt. Mix well.
2. Make three deep holes in the dry mixture. Into one, pour the oil, into the next, pour the vinegar and into the next, pour the vanilla.
3. Pour water into the bowl, over all of it and making a great big mess.
4. Mix the wet and dry ingredients together until there are no more lumps and pour into a 9 x 9 inch baking pan, two inches deep. The baking pan doesn't have to be greased (optional).
5. Bake it at 350º F (175º C) for about 30-35 minutes. Test with a fork or toothpick in the centre, if it comes out clean, then it's done.
Enjoy this delicious cake. You will be surprised at its moistness and richness. It can be cooled and iced with your choice of icing or can be enjoyed on its own. The batter can also be used to make cupcakes.
Tips:
For an instant cake, have the dry ingredients premixed at hand, then simply add the wet ingredients when you want a fresh treat! it makes a great birthday cake? It can even freezes well.

These two cakes are ready to be layered, with frosting in between.The Frosting:
1 Stick of Butter
1 (8 oz) pkt of cream cheese
2 Cups (16 oz) of powdered sugar
1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
1 tsp of orange rind (fresh or dry)
1. Beat the cream cheese, add butter, orange rind and vanilla and beat for a minute.
2. Add Sugar and beat till fluffy.
This is the frosting that has already been mixed. Ready to put on the cake.
Slowly spread the frosting on the first cake and then put the second cake on the top and spread all over.
Both cakes are now covered with the frosting and become one cake.
Decorate it with some cherries.
This is how the cake look like, from inside. It's very delicious and moist. My husband and son really like it.
