I heard that it was developed during the depression and was popular because it had no costly eggs, milk, or butter. At any rate, we love the moist texture and rich chocolate flavor without overpowering sweetness.

I thought with 2 cups of sugar it would be plenty sweet, but for personally, I prefer it to be just a bit sweeter. And I would recommend some sort of frosting.

The frosting adds about 75 cals per slice. Cut into 20 servings, it's 106 per plain slice, and adding about 60 cals per slice for the frosting.

I also used Splenda and cornstarch to make the powered sugar. I had a taste of it and it's just divine. My hubby is diabetic, so I'm sure he will be excited to try it tonight after dinner.

I found the same recipe in the Moosewood Veg cookbook. It's a good recipe to have if you have friends come over who might be vegan, just sprinkle with confectioners sugar and leave off the frosting. It's also a great recipe for children to make especially since you mix it in the pan. I almost forgot about this great recipe, so thanks!!! I believe this cake is also vegan.
