Today I am sharing with you egg-less version of Chocolate cake. Recently my Mom's birthday came and I wanted to bake a cake for her. Though she is India and am here in US, at least wanted to give her a visual treat, She loves chocolate a lot, so baked a chocolate cake. I have already posted Chocolate cake with egg but this time tried an egg less version. The cake came out so soft and moist. I baked a single layer cake and covered it with chocolate ganache. It is definitely a treat for the chocolate lovers.
Recipe Source: Chow times
What are the ingredients needed?
All Purpose flour, 1 1/2 cups
Baking soda, 1 teaspoon
Salt, 1/4 teaspoon
Cocoa Powder, 1/4 cup
Brewed coffee, 1 cup
Sugar, 1 cup
Vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon
Lemon juice, 1 Tablespoon
Oil, 1/4 cup
How it is made?
- Preheat the oven to 350 F.
- Prepare the cake pan by greasing it and flouring it or instead line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl ,sift the dry ingredients( All purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt) together. Keep it aside.
- In another bowl, mix together all the wet ingredients (brewed coffee, vanilla extract, lemon juice and oil) with sugar, till the sugar is completely dissolved
- Add this mixture to the flour mixture and mix well.
- Pour this batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 15- 20 minutes till the toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool and remove it from pan.
- The cake is ready for decorating. If not decorating, can slice and serve now.
Chocolate Ganache:
Ingredients required
Semi sweet chocolate chips, 1/2 cup
Heavy whipping cream, 6 tablespoons
Butter, 1 tablespoon
How it is made?
- Cook the chocolate chips and whipping cream in the top of a simmering water, add butter, stirring occasionally till it is warm, smooth and shiny.
- Let this ganache cool down lightly, then spread this evenly on the cake.
Notes:
- You can double the recipe, if you are planning for a double layer cake.
- The original recipe used vinegar instead of lemon juice. You can use vinegar too.
- If you don't prefer adding brewed coffee, you can add water instead. But I feel coffee enhances the chocolate flavor.
- You can decorate as per your personal preference.

Hi Divya,
ReplyDeleteThis recipe of urs does not require baking powder. Does this cake still become moist without baking powder? Tried this cake but it was not spongy. All the mixing should be done by hand only or blender?
@Anonymous.. This recipe doesn't require baking powder. It has baking soda which does the same job as baking powder. baking soda reacts with lemon juice to yield a soft cake. I do all the mixing by hand. Am not sure what went wrong. However, do check the baking soda and also if it is over-baked then the cake may become dry..I have tried this a lot of times and it has come out perfect each time.. :)
DeleteThis recipe has made me a star of my family and friends. Every time I make it, it just turns out AWESOME :)
ReplyDeleteI bake it into cupcakes...makes it easy for everybody.
I use vinegar as suggested by you.
Thank you so much !!!
@Ishta Bhasin.. Happy to know this.. Thanks for taking time to share your feedback here.. :)
