Eggless Chocolate Pound Cake

Eggless Chocolate Pound Cake is decadant chocolate in a pound measurement. In a typical pound cake, flour, sugar, butter and eggs are in equal measurement and baked at a low temperature to give a tight crumb which is at the same time, very delicate and melt in the mouth texture.

I am combining two events and tried my best to meet the requirement. Though I could’ve gone ahead and used eggs for this egg, I still didn’t and ended up replacing the eggs in the cake. I am not sure if this turned out exactly as how a typical pound cake would. Though as per the statement I mentioned above, it meets to some extent.

We are starting the last edition of Blogging Marathon for this year. I picked up or rather changed it to meet both the events. So its going to be Pound Cake this week, where one cake will meet the Bakeathon requirement as well. On a personal front, I wanted to make it cooking from cookbook as well. However, it was simply too tough to make it meet all three clauses.

Kids enjoyed this rich chocolate cake that I adapted from here. I might try making this sometime with eggs as well.
