EGGLESS CHOCOLATE CAKE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 170 C or 340 F for at least 15 mins.
• Grease a 8 or 9 inch round cake pan & drizzle some flour on it. or Line with a parchment paper. Set aside.
• Mix 1 ½ cups flour, ¼ cup cocoa powder, ½ tsp salt and 1 tsp baking soda.
• Sieve the flour mix at least twice to aerate the flour. This makes the cake light.
• If using wheat flour then sieve four times.
• Add 1 cup sugar and mix it well. I use fine sugar.
• If you are using coarse one then you can also dissolve it in 1 cup water (called for the recipe) and pour it in the next step.
• Make a well (space) in the center. Pour 1 cup water, 1/3 cup oil or melted butter, 1 tbsp vanilla extract and 1 tbsp vinegar.
• Gently begin to mix well from the liquid ingredients in the center.
• Using a whisk or spatula, mix just until the flour is combined well with the wet ingredients. Do not over mix.
• The batter will be runny. Pour it to the cake pan.
• Knock it a few times against the kitchen counter to release air bubbles.
• Bake for 30 to 35 mins. Check after 27 mins. The bake time may vary depending on your pan size and oven. So Just bake it until a skewer or a tester inserted comes out clean.
• To check if it is completely baked, insert a skewer in the center of the cake and check. It must come out clean.
• Keep the cake pan on a wire rack and allow it to cool down for 8 to 10 mins in the pan.
• Invert eggless chocolate cake gently on a wire rack. Allow it to cool.

• Mix together ¾ cup milk, 2 tbsps cocoa, 1 tsp vanilla extract & 4 to 6 tbsps sugar.
• The mixture must be lump free & smooth.
• Begin to cook on a low to medium heat stirring constantly until slightly thick & creamy.
• Taste it and add more sugar if needed & boil. Cool completely.
• Place the cake on a plate or a tray that can hold the excess dripping from chocolate sauce.

• Ensure the butter is soft yet cold. When you press down the block of butter, it must dent easily yet hold shape without melting.
• Add butter to a large bowl and beat it until soft and fluffy. You can use a hand mixer or just a whisk.
• Place a sieve over the butter bowl. Add cocoa and powdered sugar to the sieve. Sieve it well.
• Pour vanilla and 2 tbsps milk or cream. Mix them up lightly.
• Then whisk or beat until everything turns smooth fluffy and light. It must be of spreadable consistency.
• If it is too thick, then add another half to 1 tbsp milk or cream. Beat well until it reaches a good consistency.
• Do not over beat else the butter begins to melt.
• If needed you can keep it in the fridge for a while.
• Spread a tbsp of frosting on your cake stand. Place 4 - 2 by 8 inch parchment paper strips across the four sides of the cake stand.
• Place the cake over these papers with the frosting beneath the cake.
• Scoop off a good amount of frosting to the cake. Begin to spread from the center and then towards the sides.
• Place the cake in the fridge for about 40 mins. Then smoothen the cake with a spatula. Remove the parchment papers gently.
• Eggless chocolate cake is ready. Slice & serve.

Steps:

• In a medium sized bowl, add the number of eggs called for on the box plus one extra and beat well with a whisk. Add in melted butter in place of vegetable oil, milk in place of water, and beat until combined.

• Grease and line 2 8" round cake pans and evenly distribute the batter between them.
• Bake according to the directions for your cake mix or until toothpick inserted in the center has a few crumbs.
• Allow cakes to cool completely in their pans. Once cakes are cool, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
