NANA'S EASY NO EGG CHOCOLATE CAKE
This recipe came from a collection of recipes from members of The American Rose Society given to me by my mother-in-law in the late 1960's. I started making it for my young family because I was looking for a cake I could make without eggs. It was so easy, so moist and they loved it. We had it for dessert about 3-4 times a month when they were growing up. When we're together, I still make it for them and my grandchildren, who refer to it as Nana's Chocolate Cake. It's been a real hit for over 40 years.

Steps:
- Mix all dry ingredients together in a bowl. Make 3 holes (2small, 1 big) in the mix; put vanilla in one of the small holes, vinegar in the other, and oil in the third. Pour the water over all and beat with a fork or large spoon until all ingredients are mixed. Pour into a prepared (greased and floured) oblong pan (9 x 13). Bake in preheated oven at 350 degrees for 30-35 minute.
- Chocolate Frosting.
- Cook the first three ingredients over low heat until blended. Pour into a bowl and add the box of confectioner's sugar and vanilla. Mix well until blended completely. Spread over warm, but not hot, cake.

Steps:
- For cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper and grease with 1 tablespoon butter.
- Using a double boiler or pan over simmering water, melt together chocolate and remaining 1/4 cup butter. Set aside to cool.
- Using a blender, chop pecans finely. Add eggs, vanilla, sugar, salt and melted chocolate mixture, blending until smooth. Pour batter into pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes; cake should be moist but not wet. Allow to cool completely.
- For the garnish: In a large mixing bowl, combine piloncillo or brown sugar, lime zest and lime juice. Add strawberries and blackberries, and toss gently. Just before serving, toss again and spoon on top of cake. If desired, serve with lightly sweetened whipped cream.
