Moist Eggless Chocolate Cake

Moist Eggless Chocolate Cake

Rich Moist Elegantly Chocolate Cake. A truly eggless cake doesn't have baking powder in it. This is because the baking powder has Cream of Tartar as one of its components. Cream of Tartar is made from the crystalized residue from the vats of some wines that are fermented with egg whites.
