Eggless chocolate cake is a delicate and rich treat from Italian cuisine. Its history dates back to times of food scarcity when bakers sought ways to create desserts without eggs while maintaining quality. The result is a light, moist cake with a deep chocolate flavor paired with silky cocoa and vanilla glaze. With no eggs or dairy, it’s perfect for vegans. This dessert can be served with tea or coffee, and its rich taste makes it an excellent choice for festive occasions. The flavor is slightly velvety with hints of cocoa and vanilla, and the texture is pleasant and soft like a cloud.
