Simple Chocolate Cake
I have many easy recipe of chocolate cake on my blog, and each one is different from the other.
I have used melted chocolate in my Easy Chocolate Mud Cake Recipe. Like this simple chocolate cake, I have poured the chocolate all over the cake in my Death by Chocolate Cake.
The Eggless Chocolate Cake is a completely different one. I have kept the crust crunchy. Whereas, in the chocolate semolina cake the crust and crumb both are moist.
And for the healthy cake lovers, I have my whole wheat chocolate cake recipe.

Simple Eggless Chocolate Cake Recipe
In a mixing bowl take oil, sugar, and hot boiling water. Start whisking everything until sugar dissolves. Hot water will help to dissolve the sugar as well as emulsify the oil.
Once sugar dissolves, add 2 tablespoons of curd to it. The curd should not be runny else it will change the consistency of the entire batter. Add it and whisk again.
Take a sifter. Add flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and baking powder to it. Sieve all the dry ingredients into the bowl of wet ingredients.
Sifting will help to remove the lumps from the cocoa powder and it will aerate the flour as well. Do not skip this step otherwise your chocolate cake is not going to be soft and spongy.
Mix dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a whisker or spatula. All we need is to mix the ingredients well so there is no dry flour left.
To adjust the consistency of the batter, add 50 ml milk to it. The amount of milk may vary depending on:
- the consistency of the curd
- and absorption capacity of your flour.
You need the batter of pouring consistency so add milk accordingly.
To enhance the flavor, add ½ tsp of vanilla flavor. You could also add coffee flavor or chocolate flavor. But vanilla makes it better.

Give a quick mix and the batter is ready.
Pour the prepared batter into 8 inches greased baking tin. Tap the tin on the counter to remove the extra air bubbles from the batter.
Bake it in a pre-heated oven at 180 °C for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes of baking, take the cake out from the oven. Let the cake rest in the tin for 5 minutes.
After 5 min of resting, unmold the cake on the wired rack and let it rest until it comes to room temperature. Meanwhile, prepare the chocolate ganache for frosting the cake.
To prepare the frosting, take 75 gm fresh cream in a saucepan. Let it cook on medium flame. The moment the cream starts boiling, switch off the flame and add chopped chocolate to it.
The heat of the cream will be enough to melt the chocolate. Keep stirring the mixture. In-between add butter and continue to mix until chocolate melts completely.
The chocolate frosting is now ready. Pour it on our moist chocolate cake. Using a butter knife or palette knife, spread it evenly. Now let it rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
