You could never believe how moist this cake is until you try it. And yes! it is EGGLESS

I was busy searching for eggless choc cake until I found this recipe from Madhuram. Since then, I just knew I don’t have to search for a new one. This is perfect super moist for us and I would rather use this recipe even when my son is not anymore allergy to eggs one day

Moist Eggless Chocolate Cake Recipe

* All Purpose Flour 1 cup
* Baking Powder 1/2 teaspoon
* Baking Soda 1 teaspoon
* Unsweetened Cocoa Powder 6 tablespoons
* Granulated Sugar 3/4 cup
* vegetable oil 1/2 cup
* Hot Coffee 1/4 cup (1 tsp of coffee in 1/4cup hot water)
* Milk 1/4 cup
* Yogurt (I used plain non fat, measured it with dry measuring cup) 1/4 cup
* Vanilla Extract 1 teaspoon

Yield: One 8-inch or 9-inch cake.

1. Preheat the oven to 170 C. Lightly grease an 8-inch round cake pan and dust it with cocoa powder.
2. In a large bowl sift together the all purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, cocoa powder and sugar. Make a well.
3. Add all the wet ingredients one by one.
4. With an electric mixer, beat the mixture on low speed for 2-3 minutes until the dry and wet ingredients are well combined. Do not over beat it (I didn’t use electric mixer but only baking spatula to mix the ingredients).
5. Pour the batter in the prepared pan. Tap the pan a couple of times so the batter is spread evenly and there are no air bubbles.
6. Bake for about 30 min. Check the cake with tooth pick. Toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake should come clean whrn the cake is ready.
7. Once out of the oven, transfer the pan to a wiring rack to cool. After about an hour remove the cake from the pan and let the cake cool completely before frosting.

Frosting Recipe

* Margarine/butter at room temperature 3 tablespoons
* Powdered sugar 1 1/2 cups
* Unsweetened cocoa powder 1/4 cup
* Milk, fat free 3-4 tablespoons

Yield: About 3/4th cup of frosting, enough for one 8-inch or 9-inch cake.

1. In a medium size bowl add the margarine, powdered sugar and cocoa powder. Start beating with an electric mixer on low speed. At this stage it may seem to be very dry. Don’t panic. Wait until you add the milk.
2. Add milk little by little and continue beating the mixture till you get a nice spreadable consistency.
3. Now transfer the cake to a plate and start frosting it.
4. Cool down in fridge for at least one hour (the texture of the frosting will look better after at least one hour in fridge).
