Eggless Chocolate Cake
Posted: Tue Feb 09, 2010 8:28 pmWhen I was little, my dad's youngest sister used to make this absolutely delicious eggless cake as she was vegetarian.
This recipe, tho not hers (cuz she gave that up a long time ago after she married a meat eater
) is the closest ive found to what her cake used to taste like.
Im always rather skeptical of using recipes online, but this one was better than i thought it would be. Uses stuff u already have lying around ur cupboard.
Ingredients:
1 tin Nestle condensed milk
1 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa (tho for the cake below i used a couple tablespoons more)
2/3 cup melted butter
2 tsps vanilla essence
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsps baking powder
150ml water
-Sift together flour, cocoa, baking soda and baking powder.
-Combine in another bowl the condensed milk, melted butter, vanilla and water.
- Add dry ingredients to the milk mixture, and beat on medium for about a minute till the batter is smooth.
- Pour mixture into a greased baking tin and bake for approx 50mins to an hour at 300 degrees, testing with a skewer to make sure its cooked.
Dont over beat it, or over bake it.
This is what mine looked like:
I dont even frost it.
Note: This is NOT a sweet tasting cake, despite the amt of condensed milk in it because of the fact the cocoa isnt sweetened. I upped the amt of cocoa this time around and found that altho the color was gorgeously chocolatey, i craved the extra sweetness from using just the 1/4 cup. But for those who like dark chocolate more, id suggest upping the amt of cocoa to suit and maybe bringing in some sweet with a frosting/topping if u want. Its also very dense, but moist. I liked it alot.
If you try it out let me know how u like it.
Im thinking of using it with with German Cake topping soon.
Update: ok this is seriously becoming an addiction Now im adding coffee and cappuchino mixes to it, and its fabulous.
