Moist Chocolate Cake

This chocolate cake is super delicious and moist with a deep chocolate flavor. The cake contains no eggs, making it a bit easier and cheaper to make. It also means it can be soft in the middle. Top with a delicious chocolate cream. It can be adjusted, for example, with white chocolate instead. The cake is delightful on its own, so the cream can easily be omitted.
