Hi friends...
here comes my chocolate cake..at last..my first recipe..😍
this is actually my kids favourite..ofcourse mine too..
my kids love chocolate cake...and about me...I use this as a base for all my cakes..like wholewheat dates cake..vanilla cake for any bday cake..marble cake..banana cake.. ofcourse with little changes.
I use it for muffins also.. so basically its a base in all my cakes..
this one is a wholewheat cake..the usual atta we use to make chapathi and poori at home..
and as a egg replacement I use curd..
trust me guys curd works its magic in eggless cakes..
In my initial days of baking I used maida.. eventually after some trial and error I found out whole wheat is as good as maida in baking..so all my cookies,cakes and breads are whole wheat..
even a beginner can make this cake.. Its a really a sweet heart..wont trouble u at all..just get together some basic items in your kitchen..mix and bake..its really that simple guys..
ok lets get started
Eggless chocolate cake recipe
prep time : 15 mins
cook time : 35 mins
total time :50 mins
Lets get to work
1. first of all grease your baking pan with oil.then whisk curd until no lumps ( don't over do it..if u don't see any lumps that's enough) using a wired whisk.
2. add sugar and whisk a little more till sugar dissolves..i use 3/4 cup as we always prefer a bit of less sweet in all the dishes. if you want you can add 1 cup sugar also ..
3. once the sugar is dissolved add baking soda and baking powder to the curd mixture.. whisk for a min.. and leave it to rest.
4. after 5 mins you will find bubbles appearing in the solution..
5. now take 1.5 cups of whole wheat flour in a plate..add cocoa powder to it and mix will..
actually you can sieve the flour with the cocoa powder also for uniform mixing..use good quality cocoa powder.. as the flavor of the cake totally depends on the cocoa powder. I am using hersheys coca powder.
6. now once the dry ingredients are ready.. set it aside.
7. add oil and vanilla essence to the curd mixture and whisk for a brief minute..
8 . At this time preheat the oven to 160degrees.if your oven doesn't have automatic preheat option, manually preheat for 10 minutes.pre heating is very important as the oven will be in the required temperature when we put the batter...
9. now mix the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients.. whisk it gently..in one direction with little force.. always do it in clockwise direction. don't whisk in both direction.this is the most important step as over doing the mixing may result in a dense cake..so don't over do it.
10. initially you will find lots of dry mixture ..but slowly keep mixing it and u will find the mixture will slowly turn into a molten mass..it need not be a smooth( homogeneous mixture) paste consistency.there will be some bubbles.. as long as u don't see any dry atta its fine..again IMPORTANT RULE: DONT OVER DO IT .. that will make the cake dense.
11. transfer the contents to the cake pan. Tap the pan on the counter so it will spread evenly.
after mixing don't take too much time with the cake batter as the more time u take the cake will become dense.
12.now bake the cake for 30 to 35 mins in 160 degrees. for doneness check , take a tooth prick and prick it in the middle..if the toothprick comes out clean..the cake is done..remove it from the oven.once the cake cools down or becomes warm remove it from the pan. your cake is ready now.
13. if the tooth prick is sticky place the cake in the oven and bake for another 10 mins ..
I have served it with a simple hersheys syrup and a cup of warm milk 😍
some tips to look out for incase your a beginner:
1. never let the batter sit for a long time.
2. once u mix the dry and wet ingredients the batter have to be in dropping consistency.not too thin not too thick. the amount of curd I mentioned can be increased a bit more if u find your mixture very dry.
3. the amount of curd depends on the quality of atta your using. some atta absorb more liquid and some might require less. so all depends on your atta.
4.don't worry if the mixture is very dry. add few table spoon of cured during mixing the batter also if u find it dry..like I said your atta needed more moisture..
5. the preheating is very important.check your manual of the oven for preheating.mine is a Samsung oven.and it has a automatic setting for preheat. if your oven doesn't have automatic setting preheat for 10 mins minimum.
6. I use 160 degree temperature for baking. again the most used setting is 180degree.then the time might reduce to 25 to 30 mins of baking.. but I would suggest after 25mins just check once with the tooth prick.
7.last but not the least..if you find it too watery don't panic add few tbsp. of atta..
if its very dry on mixing add little bit more curd..
so don't worry its not going to turn into a disaster..
get those gloves and set to baking..👍
These cakes I made for my daugters school for her bday...using the above recipe for the base cake.
I have used butter cream frosting..
now once the cake is warm you can proceed with frosting..
and about frosting...I will update it soon..
until then do bake this simple wholewheat eggless cake and enjoy...
do try the recipe.. let me know how it turned..send me any queries if you have...I will answer asap..
thanks guys.. signing out..tata👋
