  • Whole Wheat Chocolate Cake
September 1, 2017

My apologies to all those who have been continuously asking me for a chocolate cake eggless recipe.  Finally, I am here, with my no-fail, eggless whole wheat chocolate cake recipe.

Interesting Fact: In 2012 the average chocolate per capita for an average Swiss citizen was 11.9kg. That’s almost eating 250 chocolates in one year.

If you were looking for an eggless chocolate cake recipe for a birthday, this recipe is for you.

I have been making youtube video recipes and Garv has been watching me doing so. Kids generally copy their parents and finally, he did the complete video recipe for this chocolate ganache layer cake. Trust me this generation of kids is brilliant. He only took 10 minutes and grasped everything. Scroll down and watch my junior master chef making his first video recipe. I wonder if he is one of the youngest YouTuber chefs.

Like mother like son, he is just too fond of chocolates. If you also like chocolate cakes, don’t miss the following recipes:

I have curated the list of recommended tools and ingredients for baking. I recommend only tried and tested products that have given satisfactory results in my kitchen.

Moist Chocolate Cake Recipe

For this easy chocolate ganache cake, we have used whole wheat. Whole wheat will keep the chocolate healthier than an all-purpose flour cake.

  • Hello. Can you comment on the OTG settings for this cake. I used both bottom and top heater and fan on. My cake didnt rise and was dense.

  • Great blessing to ladooji he is on his mammas path definitely he will shine in what ever feild he chooses to go in his profession

    Hi Sonia. Baked this cake as per my 5 yr old daughter’s request. Made the cake for the first time in Convection oven.Turned out super yummy and moist. Didnot prepare the ganache though .Its very tasty. Thank you for such a wonderful recipe. We loved it.

  • Hello Sonia

    I need the measurements in cups
    My one cup is 240 ml
    Can you tell the recipe in these measurements ?

  • Hi Sonia,
    I prepared this cake with leftover choco ganache and the rest everything as u mentioned. The result was fabulous. So soft and moist cake. Thank u so much

  • 5 stars
    I’ve been making another eggless whole wheat chocolate cake,but I used to make it in microwave and it wasn’t baking very well in the cooker and was turning out dense. This recipe was so good nobody could tell it was eggless and whole wheat! It rises beautifuly and has a moist crumb. Just loved it!

  • Hi sonia..can I double or tripple the recipe..as i want to bake big cake in 10” square tin..pls guide on this.Thank u..

  • Hi,
    Can you please help where dark chocolate chopped 30 grms is used and where dark chocolate Lindt 125 grms is used, means which is used for Ganache and which is used for batter.
    And the quantity used in ganache and batter .

    Thanks.

  • Can I use Lindt milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate Sonia? Also soon after pouring the ganache can I stick kit Kats all around? I want to make this for my laddoo’s birthday ?

    • Hello Stuti,

      The answer to both of your question is Yes. As a tip, tie a ribbon around the cake so that it holds the kitkat for some time. This is to give additional support to kitkat.

  • As soon I added the dry ingredients to wet ingredient it became thick n lumpy I added more milk but the lumps didn’t break n my cake came out gluteny…I didn’t overbeat it just mixed it..my batter was pouring consistency but lumpy …Kindly help

    • Hello Alpa,

      Over the surface the problem seems to be with the mixing only.
      if you are new in baking, try these steps:
      Break the portion of dry ingredients into three portions
      Mix only one portion at a time in the liquid ingredients and mix before you add the next portion.

      Hopefully, this should solve your problem.
      Remember: Milk is only required, if the batter is thick. Otherwise you don’t need it.

    • Hi Deepali,

      I did not get the full context. Do you want to completely avoid chocolate and make a simple vanilla cake or you want to replace dark chocolate with some other chocolate?

      Sonia

      • Hi
        Thanks for the quick response. Two cases actually
        Can I follow the same recipe just not adding the dark chocolate?
        And may I replace cocoa with wheat and how much quantity?
        Thanks

        Yes I don’t want to put any choclate …. also instead of cocoa may I use wheat or maida and how much ?
