This is a great dessert for when you've been asked to bring dessert but forgot you were supposed to until the last minute. You can whip it together quickly because there is no butter to soften and all the ingredients are likely already in your cupboard. You can throw it in the oven while you frantically change clothes and get ready and I may or may not be speaking from experience.
Then you can arrive at your function with a nice warm dessert in hand and everyone will think you must be completely together with impeccable timing. The warm fudge sauce that magically appears under the yummy cake is thick and rich and it doesn't seem possible that the whole dessert has no butter or eggs.
