This Moist Vegan Chocolate Cake – Eggless Chocolate Cake using curd is everything you’d have ever wanted (in terms of chocolate 😉 – our savior this weekend. ‘Extreme Hot Weather with absolutely No-Grilling’ Warnings The world came to a standstill…atleast for a moment!!! We had everything planned for a fun beach day to grilling at our friend’s place who just bought a new swanky grill…such a bummer !!! But anywho, let’s start afresh with the weekend plans and topping the list is this moist, rich and flavorful cake.
Eggless Chocolate Cake Ingredients
The ingredients are extremely simple and can be found in most kitchen.
All-Purpose Flour Dairy-Free Chocolate – you can use cocoa powder too Instant Coffee Powder – optional Plain Vegan Yogurt/Dahi/Curd Water Olive Oil Vinegar Sugar – or any sugar substitute of choice Baking Powder Baking Soda Vanilla Extract Chopped Almonds – optional
We were dreaming of chilled Mango Jalapeno Margarita’s with Sweet-Spicy Thai Basil Tofu Skewers which I was supposed to take. Lounging in the gazebo with our favorite music, cool California weather in late 70’s Fahrenheit .. But everything changed as we are going through drastic weather change and it’s expected to be 110F over the weekend…Seriously WHYYYY!!!! So anyway, since everyone is so sad especially our dear friend who bought the new grill. We all thought to cheer him up and do a surprise party at our place. The menu is absolutely simple, we are doing everyone’s fav pizza (actually getting it delivered) with lots of drink and I volunteered to make dessert at home. And what better way to cheer someone than an ooey-gooey, moist chocolate cake !!! Since some of our friends who are are attending the party are vegan, so I decided to make my Vegan Chocolate Cake or the Eggless Chocolate Curd Cake. And trust me, no-one ever comes to know it’s vegan until I tell them hence the name Ultimate Vegan Chocolate Cake. This recipe has been tried n tested on so many non-vegan friends. They have devoured the cake every-time without doubting that it’s vegan and that for me is a real test of a cake recipe!
How to Make Vegan Cake Extremely Moist?
The Answer is ——> ‘Yogurt + Vinegar’
Now I’m using a dairy-free plain yogurt, but if you are not a vegan and still want to make it, you can use regular plain yogurt too. Also, I wanted to mention that every time I make a Chocolate cake, I always add a pinch of instant coffee to it. It enhances that rich chocolate flavors further and definitely gives it this rich-intense chocolate look which to me is always so gorgeous! The rest of the ingredients are the same as of any cake and yes, I’m using olive oil. Hence the cake is actually very light to eat – One bite of this cake and you’ll know why I call it so.
Keeping with the moist, light, and fluffy theme of our cake, I wanted to keep the icing minimal. You can definitely serve the cake as is and you’d still love it. But if for you a party cake is not complete unless there is icing, then I got you covered my friend. The icing, I’m making is good enough to cover the entire cake (top of it). But I’m just drizzling it ever so lightly and then sprinkling some chopped roasted almonds on top. I can guarantee that one bite of this cake and you’ll be in love with its rich and moist flavor without actually adding too much of anything. So this weekend, go ahead and spoil your loved ones with this Vegan Chocolate Yogurt Cake Recipe. And I’ll guarantee you happy contented faces in return 🙂 That’s it for now & Have a Great Weekend Ahead ~ Hugs 🙂 DID YOU TRY MY RECIPE – AWESOME!!!
