on Dec 11, 2019, Updated Jan 20, 2022 Soft, moist, and intensely chocolatey are how I would describe this eggless chocolate cake. I know so many people who don’t eat eggs in desserts that this recipe was a long time coming. My mom and I have been making this recipe for friends and family for years now, and so I didn’t even have to test it when I decided to share this recipe here. It’s a pretty simple recipe that even non bakers can follow easily. The result is a cake that even egg eaters can’t differentiate between. Now, with all things baking, I understand that there are always a ton of questions and I’m going to try and answer all of them here. If there’s anything that I’ve missed out, you can leave me a comment, and I’ll add it to the post so that everyone can use this information.
Ingredients for eggless chocolate cake
This chocolate cake requires all purpose flour or maida, cocoa powder, both baking powder and soda, greek yogurt or hung curds, powdered sugar, melted butter, vanilla, milk and vinegar. Wherever substitutes are possible, I have listed them out in the recipe notes to make baking this cake as easy as possible.
Substitute for eggs in eggless cakes
We are substituting eggs with greek yogurt or hung curds here. Both have a thick consistency. If you are using homemade curds, strain out the whey or make hung curd by using a cheesecloth or sieve. Discard the whey and use the hung curd for this cake.
Making this eggless chocolate cake pretty
To make this cake pretty, we’ve iced it with thick chocolate ganache and I’ve sprinkled pretty gold and white sprinkles on top. This was so pretty that I even took it once for a friends birthday party. So if you are looking for an eggless chocolate birthday cake, this is it! Notice the texture of this eggless chocolate cake? Its light, airy, moist and soft. Unlike other chocolate cakes which can be dense when made eggless or lacking in flavor, this was sooo good that even Denver who is pretty good at this stuff, couldn’t tell that it was eggless. P.S. This cake tastes even better the next day
