According to Ken, this Chocolate Snacking Cake is like brownie except that this has leavening and it’s eggless.

hello =) i want to try this recipe… if i don’t have buttermilk, what can i use as a substitute? =)
Hi twistedsunshine, you may substitute 1 cup of buttermilk with 1 tablespoon of vinegar plus enough milk to make up 1 cup.
Wonderful! Another recipe to use up my buttermilk and cocoa. I have just enough energy to make this right now.
