This vegan bundt is absolutely a breeze to make.I had no idea of baking a  vegan cake until I discovered that there were no eggs in  my fridge.I was so lazy to run to the store.So when I browsed,I found this vegan chocolate bundt cake in baking bites.com.It was unbelievably moist and no one can tell it is egg less..I skipped the glaze part.
