    I, too, wondered about the lack of eggs, but made it as given. I was very disappointed as the cake was very gooey, as in not done, at the end of an hour's baking. I tried baking it for a half hour longer after having the first servings, but it wasn't much better. Where did I go wrong? The taste was what I was looking for. The sauce was very good.

    I couldn't find my family favorite recipe, and found this one, which is similar. It's a surprise that it has no eggs, but it works just fine. I substituted buttermilk for milk plus lemon juice, and it was great. Very dense. I served it in a bowl with plenty of the sauce. Perfect for a wonderful fall evening.
