The ultimate and the most cooked sweet dish in most homes is the Chocolate cake.... I know mom's are ultimate Divas when it comes to cooking them but however it is somewhat difficult to find a decent recipe for an eggless one.
Since most of bakery items involve eggs which helps bind the elements that go into it and ofcourse is a good rising agent... I would like to thank my mom for managing to find this recipe from some neighbourhood aunty long time back.... I like the eggless versions of cakes... it has a cleaner taste... at times if not cooked properly the cake gives out a very eggy essence which I am not really a big fan of.
So I know probably many of you wouldn't really want to go through a recipe of a cake... but for those who are looking for an eggless options... here the recipe to the rescue...
All you need is:
250 grams- Plain all purpose flour
1/2 cup- cocoa powder
1 level tsp- baking powder
1 level tsp- soda bicarbonate
1 cup- oil
1and half cup- powdered sugar
1and half cup- milk
1and half cup- pepsi/coca cola
2 tsp- coffee
Procedure:

1and half cup- milk
1and half cup- pepsi/coca cola
2 tsp- coffee
Procedure:
- First on a sheet of paper through a sieve mix the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and soda bicarbonate.
- Run this mixture through the sieve at least 4 times so that all the dry ingredients are mixed properly
- In a deep dish or a mixing bowl pour oil, sugar and coffee and mix well.
- Add the sieved mixture to this bowl 1 cup at a time. Do not add the entire mixture at once, this will result in lumps... add 1 cup, if the mixture starts to dry out then add a bit of milk and pepsi and mix well.
- Repeat this process until the entire dry mix has been incorporated into the batter.... they key is to mix the batter well in good circular motion for atleast 5-7 mins to get that spongy cake...
- Pre heat over at 170 degrees, pour out the batter on the cake tin which has been well oiled and dusted in flour.
- Bake the dish for 40 minutes... ready to go.
Serve ,.... any which way you like.... You can make ganache and apply it as an icing... serve hot with icecream... or just gobble it up....
Foodie out as Somya stirs :)
Just one word - Orrrgasm!
ReplyDeletewhat about a no-microwave option? Is there a way out ;)
ReplyDelete@apsu- u gotta steam the cake in tht case- make the batter as listed, then in a pressure cooker fill half with water until a whitsle, oil a container- preferably a tiffin with a tight lid... oil and dust it, pour the batter in, close the lid and put this container in the heated up water of pressure cooker, close the lid and pressure cook for about 40 min on simmering flame. When you take out the tiffin after 40 mins... just make sure to dip a knife in the cake- if cake doesnt stick to it... then its cooked.... :)
