My Tried & True Tips

If you do not know, baking the chocolate cake of your dreams at home is not rocket science. If I have done it, you can do it as well. Ingredients: Ensure all the ingredients are at room temperature and correctly measured before preparing the batter. Otherwise, cold ingredients from the fridge might affect the cake’s texture. Equipment: I highly recommend using an electric hand blender or a stand mixer for whisking the cake batter. It gives a strong and stable structure to the cake. Cake Batter: Do not over-mix the cake batter. Once everything is combined, keep your hands away from the batter. Mixing for too long is not going to give you a soft cake. It does quite the opposite. Baking Time: In my 52 litres OTG this eggless chocolate cake takes 40 minutes in the middle rack. Then I let it sit in the oven for 5 minutes before bringing it out. I would suggest you keep an eye on the cake after 30 minutes. Toothpick Test: After completing baking, insert a toothpick into the cake and pull it out. The cake is perfectly baked if it comes out with no/little crumbs. If the cake batter sticks to the toothpick, the cake needs more baking time.

Cake Decoration

For a lazy baker like me, decorating a cake is a bit demanding. Hence, I use a simple chocolate ganache to decorate my eggless chocolate cake. Don’t hesitate to embellish the cake with fresh seasonal fruits (strawberries, peaches, mangoes, pineapple, passion fruit, etc.), chocolate curls, and sprinkles.

Microwave Chocolate Cake

First, it’s a myth that you cannot bake a delicious chocolate cake in the microwave. All you need to have is the right microwave cake recipe. It requires only 20 minutes from start to finish. And a decadent chocolate fudge cake is ready. In addition to that, you can bake this eggless chocolate cake in microwave convection mode. Preheat microwave convection to 180 degrees Celsius for 10 minutes. Bake the cake for 30 – 35 minutes.

Storage Suggestion

This eggless chocolate cake remains perfectly moist and fresh for 24 hours at room temperature. I prefer keeping it in an airtight container. After 24 hours, you can store it in the refrigerator for 2 – 3 days. Consuming the cake within the first few days of baking is best. Later, the cake’s texture becomes dry, and the ganache layer on top becomes hard.
