About This Recipe
Chocolate flavored cakes are a classic that everyone loves, but we all have that one friend who is a pure vegetarian and doesn’t eat eggs in cakes either.
This Spongy Eggless Recipe is for all those vegetarians out there, trust me, make it once and you’d rather settle for this eggless cake the next time round. This cake is super moist and full of chocolatey goodness.
Some people complain that cakes without an egg have a different texture and are not as moist and spongy, but this one is just as moist and delicious, you won’t even be able to tell that it’s eggless.
For this recipe, I’m using condensed milk as a binding agent; it acts as a great substitute for eggs in baking pastries. The addition of condensed milk and coke to this eggless chocolate recipe adds just the right amount of sweetness; hence there is no need to add extra sugar into this recipe.
Recipe Summary
To make this, the oven is set at 180 degrees Celsius or 350 Degrees F and a 9 inch baking tray is greased and prepped for the cake. In a bowl, mix maida or all purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Sieve the dry ingredients two times so that it is mixed thoroughly.
Next, mix half of the flour, half of the coke and condensed milk and whisk until combined well. To this mixture, add the remaining flour and rest of the coke and whisk until combined.
Finally, pour the batter into the greased tin and bake for about half an hour, or till a toothpick comes out clean. Remove the cake from the oven and cool on a wire rack before cutting.
You could top this with Chocolate Ganache, Chocolate syrup or use it as a base to make a host of delicious desserts like sundaes or trifles.
So for the next birthday, whip up this delicious cake. It’s a great dessert that everybody can enjoy and dig into, to add some lightness; you can pair it with ice cream and nuts.
