I am sharing a simple recipe for very palatable eggless chocolate cake in few steps. Baking a cake had been a mystery for me a few months back, but by the time I have conquered the art of baking and I would love to share the chocolate cake recipe with important foolproof tricks. 🙂

Preparation time: 20 minutes

Baking time: 30- 40 minutes

Ingredients

1. Condensed milk, 1 cup/250ml
2. Cocoa powder unsweetened, 3 teaspoon
3. Powdered sugar, 1 cup
4. All purpose Flour, 1 cup
5. Vanilla essence, 1 teaspoon
6. Oil, 3 teaspoon
7. Baking soda, ½ teaspoon
8. Baking powder, 1 teaspoon
9. Lime juice, 1 teaspoon

Prepare cooker for baking

• Remove cooker’s whistle and put it on flame for 10 min preheating
• Add 1 cup salt/sand in cooker to make a base for pan
• Grease the pan with oil/butter

Recipe

1. Beat the condensed milk, powdered sugar and oil in a bowl
2. Sieve flour, cocoa powder and baking powder one by one in another bowl
3. Mix the flour mixture and condensed milk mixture together
4. Mix with a beater in one direction until it is smooth
5. Batter shouldn’t be too thick (add water/milk if it is thick)
6. Pour the batter into greased pan (leaving 2 inches space from brim)
7. Put the pan in preheated cooker and cover the lid
8. Now leave it for minimum 30 minutes and check with toothpick, if it comes out clear of the cake then your cake is ready
9. Leave it at room temperature for 5 minutes and serve

Useful tricks

1. Sieve the dry contents 2-3 times to make airy and smooth batter
2. Cake baking is like a chemistry experiment, always follow the specific order of adding ingredients
3. First, perfectly whip the liquid ingredients followed by slow addition of dry contents
4. Take care of the cooker’s temperature, a cake is baked best on low flame. So, dim the flame after 10 minutes
5. Always check at the centre with toothpick
6. Grease the pan with brush
7. To make cake richer, you can increase the quantity of condensed milk by 50ml
8. To make it more chocolaty you can increase the cocoa quantity by 1-2 teaspoons
9. Beat the batter in one direction and for 5 minutes to trap more air for a fluffy cake

I hope this recipe was helpful.
