Eggless Chocolate Cake

on Oct 09, 2007
How long does it take one to sneeze? Well that’s exactly the time it takes to make this cake!. OK..OK a little more than that :-) . I am not an egg lover but then if in cakes or other baking produce, I don’t mind one. Even then when I first started on to bake my very first cake, i wanted to try with an eggless one and this was it. Very very simple and a good piece to bite on to.I cant promise you that softness which comes with the inclusion of an egg, but its still moist and soft enough to try.This is a Tarla Dalal’s recipe and its sure worth a try.

Hi,
I tried this cake and it came out good. But the top portion of my cake was very soft and was risen more in the middle which gave in when I touched it. And I also felt the cake was a little heavy. What could be the reasons for this?

HI DK what does condensed milk means in india
Thanks for the recipe, it will be my first time baking and I am excited to try this cake! My anniversary is next week and I plan to make it…
I have a question, you said 1/2 can of 400 gm condensed milk. Do you mean 400 ml? Here I got a can of 350ml therefore I am not sure how should I measure if. Also, will it be possible to give the measurement for condensed milk in cups?
Thanks,
Kushangi
It will just about 1 cup. You can use 1 cup measure for 200 gms
Hi,
I wanted an easy chocolate cake and came acroos yours. I made a couple of changes. Used sugar and 2 eggs instead of condensed milk , added a picnh of salt.Also replaced water with milk. It turned out excellent. Iam back to blogging after a long time and just started putting out recipes. Hope you will not mind if i link your blog in my post.
Thanks again for this recipe.
Thanks Nivedita. Am glad you liked it and you can of course link to the recipe
Happy Blogging –DK
hi, loved this cake. I would like to try it out. How many eggs should I use instead of condensed milk. the recipe says to mix in water. can I use milk instead. Also when making blue berry muffins what else can I use as I don’t get blue berries in chennai
I can post non eggless version of chocolate cake later on. But for your query purpose, I guess you can substitute eggs for the condensed milk. One egg equals 1/4 cups. So use equal measurement for the liquid. Yes you can use milk for water. I haven’t personally used this hence I cannot say if the liquid measures will be appropriate for dry.
– there are so many other muffins that you can try instead. If you get strawberry try with it like this one – http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Strawberry-Muffins/Detail.aspx –DK
As for the blueberries – why make blueberry muffins if you don’t have blueberries?

Hi Dhivya,
When I used Baking powder to Parota, taste was bitter. Not sure whether it’s because of baking powder. Can you please confirm whetehr we use baking powder for cakes.
bye..
Hi Manjula, Mostly the bitterness of the parotta should not be because of Baking powder . I can see the bitterness in only those cases where you dint use another acidic ingredient like Buttermilk to counter the effects of baking powder. Did you use buttermilk or yogurt in your parotta recipe while using Baking powder? If you did, then I dont know what else could have been the cause of bitterness but if you dint, then surely its baking powder. Using Baking Powder and Soda are v common in baked goods. They help the product to rise and bring out the beautiful texture of the bake. Just make sure that recipes that call for baking powder also use other neutral-tasting ingredients, such as milk, buttermilk etc. Hope this info helps Manjula
Hi Jyoti,
Am glad that u like the recipe. Well condensed milk gives the cake a moist texture which am not sure milk can provide.
I have never made a cake without an Oven, so I am unfortunately hard pressed to give a suggestion from personal experience.
I got these links from the internet..pls use them as per your discretion. I have not used them personally.

Hi, I am Jyoti from Tamil Nadu, The cake looks yummy, I have some doubts. Instead of condensed milk can we use milk and sugar and is there any difference in taste while using milk and sugar. Secondly, I don’t have oven. So can you suggest me for making this cake without an oven.?
Hi Prawnoodle
No I havent suggested using evaporated milk for condensed milk. I suggested using Unsweetend Condensed milk instead of the sweetened version – to make it less sweet. I have one suggestion for buttercream icing here in this link http://culinarybazaar.blogspot.com/2008/03/dbers-again-dories-perfect-party-cake.html
Do give it a try- its absolutely yummy…will keep posting frosting and icing in future posts. fun at the Please do Keep in touch
Have lotsa fun at the beach..Happy Weekend 
Hi,you’ve suggested to replace the condensed milk with evaporated milk is it? By replacing,wont the cupcake be a little bit tasteless cause evaporated milk is not sweet right? and i thought of using whipped cream for the deco. tried making buttercream frosting but it turned out bad. hope you could share one!
plan to bake using cupcakes today. going to the beach tomorrow..hope to hear from you soon..thanks again..
Hi Prawnoodle
I am glad that this recipe worked out for you. Usually this recipe is not that sweet – provided you dint use Sweetened Condensed Milk along with sweetened cocoa powder. Use unsweetened version and U will get a milder flavour in case you want it with less sweet.
Yes do go for cupcake moulds – Try this recipe with unsweetened condensed milk and then make a buttercream frosting! I tried it and its out of this world..its a suggestion – am sure u have more amazing stuff ur sleeve
Thanks you for your kind feedback
Hi, i baked a cake based on your perfect recipe & it turned out very well for a first timer! i was so happy to see the results. My family loved it exept for my sis who felt it was sweet.Everyone loved it. I have a question. Instead of using a baking tin, can i use a cupcake mould ?
Hi Jyotsana
They both are quite similar with subtle but important differences. If i start to explain it would take quite a no. of lines
so instead refer this link for details –> http://chemistry.about.com/cs/foodchemistry/f/blbaking.htm
Vanilla is NOT a MUST in the strictest sense but it sure is an value added ingrediant in baking giving that nice aroma and taste..
All the best for your Baking.. am sure u wud do a great job
Hey Dhivi,
