Cocoa Strawberry Eggless Cake

My child is 4 years old, which means she is old enough to understand how the birthday is celebrated. On her last B'Day were at her grandmother's house which is in a very small village. There was only one bakery over there and its food quality was also not very good. So, we decided not to bring cake on her B'Day, but by listening this she became upset. So, I decided to make eggless cake at home. I tried this cake and it was fabulous. My daughter became so happy and she enjoyed her B'Day with full enthusiasm. I would like to share the recipe of this cake with you also.
