Well i'm at college right now, but these are two receipes that I know by heart, and they have never failed me, or anyone else I have given them to:
Eggless double chocolate cake
1 1/2 cups flour
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp salt
1 cup coffee (ie 1 spoon of coffee in one cup of hot water)
5 tbsp oil (can replace 2 with apple sauce)
1 tbsp vinegar
1 tsp vanilla (optional - I always leave it out)
1/4 cup chocolate chips (or be more generous. Also tastes fine without.)
Mix dry ingreedients. Add wet ingreedients, and mix by hand untill flour is absorbed. Stir in chocolate chips. Pour into 8*8 inch pan, and bake at 380f for 30 mins. Also makes twelve muffins or 18 mini-muffins. Bake for shorter period.
Brownies
1/2 cup (100g) margarine
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
100g plain chocolate (melted)
1/2 cup flour
1/8 tsp baking powder
pinch salt
Chocolate chips and/or walnuts, or anything else you want to throw in
Cream sugar and margarine. Add eggs one at a time, beating each time. Pour in melted chocolate and beat again. Add dry ingreedients, and beat all together. Attempt not to eat too much of the uncooked batter. (It's one of the best I've tasted.

) Pour batter into 8*8 inch pan, and smooth it with wet hands. Bake at 350f for 20 mins. (I always find it takes at least half an hour, but I only have a toaster oven to bake in. It could be different in a regular oven, so check as you go along.)
As they say here, betayavon.

It is not for us to explain suffering but rather to cope with it, morally and religiously, our mettle and our faith being tested, steeled, and humbled within its crucible.
