If you’ve read my blog before, then you know I’m allergic to eggs.  My mom found out when I was 6 months old so I’ve never been able to eat anything with eggs my entire life.  If eggs even gets on my hands, it turns red and itchy.

I love desserts, but normally have to make them myself.  It’s rare to find a dessert prepared from a store that doesn’t have eggs.  

For any birthday in my family, I ALWAYS make an eggless cake so I can eat it too.  My kids love the eggless vanilla cupcakes I make, but this moist eggless chocolate cake recipe is closing in as a family favorite.
