Chocolate cake ( No egg )

chocolate cake

After trying out many recipes with condensed milk to replace eggs and to get a moist cake, I finally tweaked some similar recipes and got the perfect one for a moist eggless cake recipe which is also butter free.
You can make cupcakes too with same recipe.

This chocolate cake is so light, airy and almost crumbles , good to have with cofee and to satisfy your chocolate cravings.

This cake can be baked using chocolate bars, melting and then using it in the recipe but I decided to use the unsweetened cocoa powder lying unused for this purpose.


Note : The same batter can be used to make cup cakes too instead of baking in a cake pan as I have done later. Choose your method

chocolate cake

Ingredients:

1 cup all purpose flour

1/2 tsp baking powder

6 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

1 tsp baking soda

3/4 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup oil

1 tsp coffee powder ( Instant)

1/4 cup hot water

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 cup yogurt

1/4 cup milk.

Method:

1. Preheat your oven to 170 degrees CTake a large bowl and sift all the dry ingredients, all purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda,cocoa powder, granulated sugar.

2. Mix all the dry ingredients well.Add the coffee powder in the 1/4 cup of hot water and keep aside.

3. Now take another bowl and add all the wet ingredients one by one, the oil, yogurt, vanilla extract, 1/4 cup milk, 1/4 cup hot coffee prepared,Mix all the wet ingredients well and add slowly to the dry little by little, folding the mixture slowly.

4. Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan an 8 inch greased round pan will do.Spread the batter by tapping gently.

5. Bake for 30 minutes or until done when the tester comes clean.When the cake is done, let it rest in the pan for few minutes before attempting to unmould, as this is a super moist light cake, it is likely to crumble if you hasten to unmould before it cools down,

6.  I let it remain in the pan out from the oven and after a good 10 minutes, attempted to unmould, by easing out with a knife all around the cake pan gently, Then tip the pan and the cake will fall off.Let the cake cool completely before frosting.

7. I did not frost the cake but dusted with powdered sugar.

8. Suggested cake frosting.

9. Take 4 tbsp of softened butter, 

10. 1  cup of powdered sugar,

11. 1/2 cup cocoa powder and 3 tbsp of milk.in a bowl.

12. Beat all the ingredients on low speed until it reaches spreadable consistency .Spread this frosting over the cake and refrigerate till serving.
