Chocolate Fudge Cake with Chocolate Whipped Cream Frosting



The first ever fudge cake that i had was my mum's and i absolutely fell for it! So so yummy that whenever she makes it, it wouldn't last longer than a couple of hours after being cut :D I've never made choc fudge cake myself because i know i'v got mum to do that. I used to think no one could ever beat my mum's fudge cake... Until i came across Sara Phillips's Chocolate fudge cake and had this strong urge to try it out! My mum's recipe had all the ingredients but strong espresso. Guess that was the secret ingredient behind this cake being uniquely fudgy even without the fudge icing.

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?

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.
