eggless chocolate fudge cake

The phone rang. We all reacted in our much rehearsed and practised mode- everyone waited for everyone else to go for it. Ofcourse, i was the one who eventually picked it up( always!) . The voice said ,"hi .what's up?" I answered truthfully, " lazing around"." Good. We are coming over", the voice said. I murmured (not very truthfully) something about how wonderful that was ." Within half an hour ",the voice promised threateningly. I kept the phone and collapsed. I dunno why- but whenever i get the news about impromptu visiting , the first thing that happens is that my mind goes blank.The second thing- i panic. The third -i get into action mode. Quick recce of the house- tolerable ; of the kids- not so but will have to do ;of the husband- not at all but ,again,will have to do. I now run to the kitchen and open the fridge ,looking for the pasta i had made the previous day. Not there. I mull the thought of asking the kids but then banish it. Thank God i have some fresh bread and  mushrooms( will dribble some olive oil,arrange the mushrooms,sprinkle seasoning and bake it ); and boiled chick peas ( chopped tomatoes, cucumber and coriander leaves and chaat masala). But alas! there is absolutely nothing in the sweets department. I throw a glance around the kitchen for inspiration  .My gaze settles on a much thumbed brown diary and inspiration strikes.  My old faithful fudge cake!
Some hours later.The guests have gone .We are back to doing whatever we were doing. The phone rings . Ofcourse, i pick it up .This time i take the news on the chin. The left-overs are all there! and so is my eggless fudge cake.
