Depression Era No Butter,Milk or Egg Cake

While searching around online for a muffin recipe for Breakfast I stumbled across a website with old Depression era recipes on it. One in particular jumped out at me because it was a chocolate cake which used no eggs,milk or butter. I switched up a few ingredients but decided to try it. The cake came out super moist, springy and oh so flavorful. Needless to say my unexpected find turned out to be a big hit.
