Eggless Chocolate Cake
I made this cake for one of my friends birthday. I made this eggless cake so that my vegetarian friends can enjoy this too.
Ingredients
- 1½ cups Flour
- 1 cup Sugar
- 3 tbsp. Cocoa powder
- ¾ tsp. Baking powder
- ¾ tsp. Baking soda
- 1 cup Water
- 1 tbsp. Vinegar
- 1 tsp. Vanilla essence
- ¼ cup Vegetable oil
- ½ tsp. Salt
Sift the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, soda & salt together. Add the water, oil, vinegar & vanilla essence to the flour mixture. Beat until smooth and pour the batter into a greased & floured tin.
Bake at 350F in a pre-heated oven for 30 mins or the toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Let it cool in a pan for 10 mins and then transfer it on a cooling grid and allow it to cool down completely before frosting.
Here i used a Wilton butter cream frosting tinted green. The cake was yummy. Everyone enjoyed it.
