It’s the final day of the month long mega marathon and I wanted to end it on a sweet note. I made this perfect eggless chocolate cake for my husband’s birthday, but the pictures I took looked awful, so I made it again couple of days back.
Recipe for Perfect Eggless Birthday Chocolate Cake:
Coming back to today’s chocolate cake, I asked my husband what cake he wanted for his birthday. He started to recount a chocolate cake that one of his friends used to bake. Here’s how he described the cake – it’s moist, it’s fudgey, it’s chocolatey AND it’s delicious. I’m sure it was delicious because he remembers it so well after all these years. So it was quite a challenge for me to find a recipe that matches the one he’s been thinking about all these years. After trying quite a few chocolate cake recipes. I hit the jackpot with Hershey’s Perfect Chocolate Cake recipe.
Vegan Chocolate Cake:
I made it eggless by using egg replacer powder instead of eggs. The resulting cake was just as good with amazing crumb. Also instead of using regular milk, I added almond milk in the recipe. This is a great cake recipe to try for anyone who has dietary restrictions.
Easy Cake Recipe:
This is probably the easiest cake to put together, everything goes into 1 bowl. Then whisked, poured into the baking pan and baked into chocolaty goodness. The recipe as written makes 2 9" round cakes or 3-8" round pans or 9"x13" baking pan or 12cup bundt cake or about 30 cupcakes.
Ingredients for Eggless Chocolate Cake:
This recipe has all the basic ingredients to make a chocolate cake:
Flour - you can all purpose flour but I have added a bit of whole-wheat pastry or barley flour without affecting the texture too much. This makes eating the cake a little less guilty.Unsweetened cocoa powder - use a good quality cocoa powder for the best tasting cake.SugarLeavening agents - baking powder, baking sodaEgg replacer powder - used in place of eggs. Flaxseed meal can also be used.Oil - use a flavorless oil like canola or vegetable oils.Milk - I used almond milk, but feel free to use regular dairy milk.
Perfect Chocolate Frosting:
I topped this moist chocolate cake with the perfect chocolate frosting. Another amazing recipe from Hershey. I thinned the frosting with a little bit more milk to use as a glaze instead of a frosting.
Taste Test:
Coming to the taste test, my husband said this cake comes very close to the one he remembers. Both the kids loved it a lot too. I guess my quest for perfect chocolate cake ended and this will be made again and again 🙂 Check out the Blogging Marathon page for the other Blogging Marathoners doing BM# 51.
