Eggless, butterless Chocolate cake

I have been trying out lots of eggless cake recipes, but always failed.
Here I am presenting a tried and successful recipe from a friend - Gouri Deo. Thanks Gouri for this wondeful recipe which turned out to be perfect.

Ingredients:
All-purpose flour / maida - 2 cups
Sugar - 3/4 cups (1 cup if you are not using frosting)
Cocoa powder - 1/2 cup (can be even little less)
Vegetable oil - 1/2 cup and a little more
Water - 1 cup
Milk at room temperature - 1/2 cup
Baking powder - 1 tbsp
Vanilla essence / extract - 1 tsp
Salt - a generous pinch

Method:
1. Pre-heat the oven at 350 F (180 C )

2. In a large bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt.
3. Add sugar and mix together.
4. Next, add oil, water, milk and vanilla and mix thoroughly, churning the batter in one direction.
5. Pour into greased cake pan and bake in a pre-heated oven for about 45 mins or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. For cup cakes a good 20 min would be fine.

I used 1/2 the quantity of ingredients and made 12 cups
 
Note: No Beating required, No Eggs, No Butter, Simple and tasty
