There is a long circulating chocolate cake depression era recipe which happens to be vegan. It is easy peasy, very reliable, and requires no eggs. It appears in my edition in Joy of Cooking book as "Dairy Free Chocolate Cake". A quick search, here is a link below. Baking can require some finessing. Watching it carefully in the oven and rotating it once or twice, making sure not over bake is key. https://www.baltimorechefshop.com/recipes/2021/6/2/chocolate-depression-cake-vegan
Thanks I’ll check it out for another occasion. I love chocolate on chocolate cake. Texas sheet cake is so good. The following link is what my grandma cooked and I’ve cooked over thirty years. I was struggling with the yellow cake recipe. So many variations. The icing recipe on this link is very similar. We use cocoa instead of baking chocolate bar (same results). If you or anyone wants to make this icing don’t cook it when it’s raining or damp. Bring to slow boil and remove from stove. If not it’s a chocolate soup. https://www.thekitchn.com/family-recipe-boiled-chocolate-icing-recipes-from-the-kitchn-174777
