I’ve been looking through a lot of vintage cookbooks lately. My two favorite ones are pretty old and some recipes date back to the 1920’s. These belonged to my great-grandmother. Frugal cooking was a necessity she had a whole section of eggless cake recipes. I thought you’d enjoy this one.
Black Cake
3 cups sifted plain flour
2 cups white sugar
6 tablespoons cocoa powder
2 tablespoons soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups buttermilk
1/2 cup melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
Pre-heat over to 375 degrees. Sift together flour, sugar, cocoa, soda and salt. Beat in milk and butter. Stir in vanilla. Pour into 9x13 cake pan and bake 30-40 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.

I love cooking without eggs. I usually replace 'em with applesauce or banana. I think it adds a little somethin' somethin' if you ask me =)
