Lazy Chocolate Cake

This homemade easy chocolate cake recipe is both easy and delicious to eat. The Lazy Woman's Chocolate Cake recipe uses only one bowl thereby minimizing mess. And, if you are looking for an egg free cake this is for you!

Chocolate  cake was easy to find when we lived in Switzerland. The problem was that most European cakes tend to be drier than American cakes (like this rich and moist Chocolate Candy Bar Cake recipe) - this held true for chocolate cake too!

Enter the Lazy Chocolate Cake recipe which is also an egg free cake!

And, as you have probably already guessed, the Lazy Chocolate Cake recipe minimizes the mess made when mixing by using only one bowl!

It is definitely for those of us who are not necessarily lazy (at least I will not admit publicly to it!) but who are efficient!

Top tips

• Wet ingredients can be added right to the bowl of dry ingredients if desired. I like to mix them in a 4 cup measuring cup and pour in all at once.
• A whisk or electric beater may be used.
• Try adding different flavoring such as orange zest or fresh orange juice
• Sprinkle the top with white,milk or dark chocolate chips
