This easy chocolate cake is a wacky cake because it's made without eggs. It's almost too easy to be true! Briefly mix the ingredients with a spoon, pour the batter into the pan, and bake.
Spread a chocolate or vanilla frosting over the cake and sprinkle it with pecans, if desired, or sift powdered sugar over the cooled cake.
This is an 8-inch cake, the perfect size for most families.
