Chocolate Wacky Depression Cake

Don't be turned off by the name of this cake - this cake sure won't make you wacky depressed. It got its name because it came from the time of the Great Depression when many of the ingredients for a normal chocalate cake like eggs or butter were hard to afford for many. Even without these ingredients, this is one hell of a cake, so moist and delicious. This being February, I thought of putting yet another chocolate dish. This is specially for my vegan friends and anyone out there with allergy to dairy.
