History of Eggless Cakes

Eggless cakes became popular out of necessity during times when ingredients were scarce, such as during the Great Depression and World War II. Bakers improvised recipes to create delicious cakes without the luxury of eggs or butter, using alternatives like vinegar and baking soda for leavening. Today, eggless cakes are enjoyed by people worldwide for their simplicity and versatility. Modern eggless cake recipes, like this one, capture the traditional moistness and decadence of chocolate cake without compromising on flavor or texture.
