00:00You wouldn't know there's not an egg in here.
00:02Wow, I'm very surprised.
00:04If you think you need eggs and dairy
00:06to make a dessert, think again.
00:07Given the current circumstances
00:10that we don't have any eggs almost,
00:12we're bringing this cake back.
00:13Even though it's crazy that I am talking
00:16about the Great Depression while wearing cashmere,
00:18we're gonna do it anyway.
00:19In a large bowl, we're gonna whisk our cocoa powder,
00:21boiling water, and instant coffee.
00:22Once you're done whisking, let this set for two minutes.
00:25Now we're gonna mix our oil, sugars, salt, and vinegar.
00:29You can also use a different kind of acid,
00:30like lemon juice or any other vinegar
00:32that you have at home.
00:33Now we're gonna add our flour,
00:34baking soda, and baking powder.
00:36It might look a little bit lumpy, but that's okay.
00:38Now we're just gonna pour it into our prepared pan.
00:43Done, now into the oven.
00:45For the frosting, you can go many ways.
00:48You can buy a store-bought frosting,
00:50which is always great, we love that.
00:51Or you can also make your own frosting.
00:53This recipe comes with its own icing recipe.
00:56It has a little bit of orange zest, chocolate.
00:59It's giving New Jersey cake, I'm sorry.
01:05Oh no, it's so moist, it's perfect.
01:07No eggs, no problem.
