theres no eggs?

Is that why it's called a screwball cake - no eggs? Looks good - would work out well for someone allergic to eggs!

Yeah what about the eggs???

probably a stupid question, but what is a screwball cake? does it just taste like chocolate cake? I've never heard of it before :s

are eggs really important for a cake recipie? do eggs hold everything together? so what is there are no eggs?

its got oil which I think is the stabiliser in the cake.... one tablespoon of oil is replacement for one egg in recipes which call for them for someone who is allergic... so I think it works fine without eggs as recipe calls... as the oil is acting in the job the egg is usually called for... i havent tried the recipe yet, but that would be my guess!

This sounds like what we call wacky cake.

We have almost the same recipe in our family... We call it CRAZY cake. I serve it to anyone who has an egg or milk allergy and they can not tell the difference! It is a great cake... Trust me ;)

I've made this cake since I've been in high school (40 yrs. ago) We call it "Funny Cake". It is so simple and is one of the moistest cakes I've ever had.
