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.


Usually, egg less cake recipes call for baking soda and vinegar that react together helping the cake to rise and to add moisture, giving you a beautifully delicate cake!

So in this post i will be showing you how to make a wonderfully spongy and moist egg less chocolate cake! I wanted my first Cake recipe on the blog to be something that requires very less effort and is super-quick to prepare, and yes this recipe fits the criteria perfectly!

Ingredients

• 195g American flour
• 30g cocoa powder
• 210g sugar
• 6g baking soda
• 230g milk
• 35g butter, melted and cooled
• 5g white vinegar
• 5g vanilla essence

Method

• Line an 8" round cake pan. Click here to find out how.

• Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius
• Sift together flour, cocoa powder and baking soda in a bowl.

• Add the rest of the ingredients and mix with an electric hand mixer at medium speed until everything is well incorporated. For about 2 mins.

Make sure to scrape the sides of a bowl time to time with a spatula and mix again.

Stop the mixer and using a spatula, give the batter a couple of quick folds just to make sure all the ingredients are  well incorporated.

This is how the final batter will look like (below)

• Pour the batter into the cake pan and bake for about 40-45 mins or until a skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean (a few cake crumbs is fine but no wet batter should be stuck onto the skewer)

• Once the cake is baked, leave the cake pan on a wire rack to cool for about half an hour.

Invert the cake onto the wire tray and remove the baking paper. Leave the cake to cool completely for about 2 hours if you are going to frost it. If not, then time to taste! :D 

That's it! Simple as that! Wasn't it unbelievably easy?
