I love pasta and baking desserts. I need the recipes as well not just the names of food. I have a small kitchen so I dont have that much room. I would like to make savory and creamy sauces for pastas. Maybe use some orzo pasta. I like italian foods. So anything thats you like let me know.
I would also like a good homemade chili recipe.

    Here’s a quick chocolate cake recipe, no eggs needed, and it works in the microwave!

    Egg-less Chocolate Cake

    1.5 cup all purpose flour

    0.5 cup granulated sugar

    6 Tablespoons powdered cocoa

    0.5 teaspoon baking soda
    (NOT baking powder)
    ——
    2 to 3 Tablespoon tasteless cooking oil like canola, soybean, etc.

    1 cup water

    1 teaspoon vanilla

    1 tablespoon white
    vinegar

    Mix thoroughly together all of the dry ingredients in a 8" by 8" pan (microwaveable plastic if you decide to use the microwave oven). Mix the oil into the dry ingredients. Mix all of the rest of the liquid ingredients into a large measuring cup, and then mix thoroughly into the dry ingredients.

    Bake in a conventional oven for about 30 to 35 minutes at 350 F. (175 C.), or until a toothpick poked into the cake comes out dry.

    Or bake in a microwave oven for about 6 to 9 minutes depending on the power of the microwave. If your microwave doesn’t have a turntable, turn the pan 90 degrees about half way through the cooking time.

    ——-
    I like cake a bit bitter chocolate tasting. You may want to boost up the amount of sugar to 0.75 cup.

    Add cream cheese to strawberry whip cream and it taste like cheese cake. I made it once and it was a hit! It was a recipe I found on a lid of Cool Whip.
