Chocolate Whipped Cream Frosting - stabilized
Whipped cream is something so very easy to make. Of, course you don't need any recipe for whipped cream - it is so simple and beautiful and completely refines pretty much any dessert paired with it! One of the best uses of whipped cream is to frost cakes as you can unbelievably vary it's flavors yet keeping its airy and fluffy texture intact. For example, if you add strawberry puree, you get strawberry flavored whipped cream.. If you add choc ganache, you get chocolate whipped cream... If you add orange juice, you get orange flavored whipped cream and so many more flavors to play with!

Lining a Cake Pan
In most cake recipes, you would have noticed the step (usually after preheating your oven to the desired temperature) that tells you to prepare your cake pan - line your pan with parchment paper/grease your pan, etc.
Some recipes would want you to prepare your cake pan even before you start to measure your ingredients and some recipes include that step after the batter is prepared. But i would say it's best to prepare your cake pan before hand because once a batter is mixed, a lot of chemical reactions take place that could reduce its leavening power and hence produce less rise, so why delay baking?

Eggless Chocolate Cake with Peanut Butter Frosting and Chocolate Glaze
I kept surfing the net looking for a different type of frosting for my cake barring the typical butter cream frosting and when i came across a 'Peanut Butter' frosting for a 'Chocolate Cake' topped with a glossy 'Chocolate Glaze' on smitten kitchen, it made me wonder if CHOCOLATE would pair perfectly with PEANUT BUTTER?

Peanut Butter Frosting
Eggless Chocolate Cake
Eggs act as the backbone of a cake. The yolks help to combine the batter making the baked cake sleek and creamy, whereas the whites help to strengthen the cake. Sometimes eggs contribute to giving the cake its rise.
Many people avoid eggs in many recipes for endless reasons, be it health, culture, etc. Hence, there are now cake recipes sans eggs for people with such liking. Although adding eggs to cakes makes the final good much better, omitting eggs will still give you a rich and decadent cake.
