Am very proud to say that if i dont have eggs at home, i can prepare a beautiful cake using many egg subsitutes like tofu,egg replacer,baking soda with vinegar or else with flax seed meal, i prepared this dark chocolate cake for my friend as egg free cake using flax seed meal, this super moist and spongy cake was a big hit and we had a super duper birthday party this weekend..
