Eggless chocolate cake recipe, moist and soft vegan chocolate cake recipe with step by step pictures. Simple ingredients, easy preparation for beginners in baking.
One fine day,when we had my hubby’s friend at home for lunch,he bought brownies from ‘Famous Amos’ for us. People won’t believe me if I say that was the first time I ever tasted a brownie in my life!!🤫. That’s because I have no love towards chocolate and chocolate cakes and all those dark brown stuffs…I just hate them to touch🤭. But the instant I tasted those brownies😀,I fell in love with them and I crave for chocolate cakes and brownies now! when I was browsing through Sharmi’s Blog,I came through this recipe, I tried it in reference to the original recipe and came out super good! The good news is it has no butter and egg!  So I was again waiting for the opportunity to bake this and blog here…I baked this for a bake sale for a good cause in my Kid’s school…This recipe is very popular,I think few of our blogger friends have tried this before and posted too! Still this cake is a must in my blog as I am a beginner in baking.. I must say about the texture,its super soft,spongy and moist..A must try,simple to do yet yummy cake🤤.

  84. Hey Raji,

    Beautiful and moist and sinful chocolate cake…I am sure your bake sale would have been a super duper hit!!!

  86. that looks super soft and yummy. After reading the post i realised i forgot to send money for varsha for the bake sale. She had missed the chance to taste this super yummy chocate cake.

  88. Shobha, even I had the same feel, next time I am going to do that,sure will enhance the taste… This time the school wanted to send 'dry' items without frosting or cream,thats y I sent as such 🙂

  106. Dear Raji,

    I have been following your Blog for quite a while. Romba nanna irukku samayal kurippu.

    Have not yet been succesful in baking cakes (tried a couple of times). Since I am a vegetarian, this Recipe was very handy. Thanks for the tips (watery batter, cooling time etc.,).

    The Cake came out very well. Thank you very much.

    I do not buy Plainflour. Neither do I have vinegar/lime juice/vanilla at home.

    I used whole wheat flour and fresh yeast. Other than that, I just followed your recipe. I am very happy that the cake came out well.

    yes, done. i cant remove my eyes from your cake… My mom is vegetarian and she never eats cake here in singapore as she is afraid that it contains egg. So i am going to prepare this week end especially for her. I will let you know soon how it turns out.

  142. Hi Raji… I made this eggless chocolate cake using pressure cooker and the result was awesome… I first covered & heated the cooker with the cooker plate (the one with holes – this is to avoid direct heating) for 10 min.. then I baked the cake for almost 40 min in low flame. The cake was really delicious and my son had some two pieces in no time… i always had a feeling that i am unable to bake the cakes u post since i dont have oven but now i am happy that i made a home made chocolate cake that is so moist n soft in my cooker itself… thanks a ton for the correct measurement u had given… all smiles on my face…:-) my son asked for the chocolate icing which he loves… it would be gr8 if u post some frosting too… 😉

  172. Thanks for this recipe .. i tried this cake once it came out spongy as yours but in taste I could taste only baking soda.. it was way too much not sure why because I used exact same measurements as given.May be you have some other brand or something..only possible reason..:( I had to throw this cake away 🙁 .. then I tried making similar recipe with soda water instead of baking soda.It went well and I m simply lovin' it !

  182. Hi …

    I added the water, sugar and salt directly to the mixed flour then added the other ingredients. Please mention to mix water, sugar, salt and others in "another" bowl. i did the same mistake while baking vanilla cake. it will be helpful for beginners like me.

  184. Hey i tried this recipe on sunday evening.The cake was about to rise and the power went off for almost 4 hrs.Still i didnt lost hope and continued baking but it was a big disaster..The cake was very hard.But will try again for sure 🙂

  190. Hi

    I tried this chocolate cake recipe and it came out perfect except the above layer was quite crispy as i baked it for 40 min.

    I wanted to find out if we could add tutty fruity to this chocolate cake recipe itself and bake as ur actual tutty fruity recipe demands addition of butter which i do not want to do. Will that work?

    Reply

  192. Hi jayashee,

    Sure you can try adding tutti fruity and try the same. Just add it at last after mixing and give a gentle stir.

    You can slice the top off if it is very crispy and next time, keep it overnight, the crispiness will be reduced…

  196. hi,, i am going to make this cake now,, n to be honest , it is really important for it to come out well,,, someone's birthday cake,, hopefully it will help me…

  198. Hi

    As i said, i tried the chocolate cake using tutty fruity. But this time the centre part of the cake did not cook at all inspite of baking it for 40- 45 minutes.Also the tutty fruity has settled at the bottom. I used a Borossil cake tray as i did last time.

    Any idea what mistake i should have done. Need your advice pls. Earlier when i used to bake vanilla cake, i used have a deep round borossil dish and that time also my centre part never used to get cooked. Then i left the cake trial itself.

    I have a IFB Microwave Oven 20 BC3 which all the the three opitons – micro, convection and grill. But i do not understand where iam going wrong.

    Reply

  200. Hi jayashree,

    It looks like the problem is your baking pan. That is what common on ur both attempts… I am not saying this coz of that, but it is surely because of the pan as if your pan does not get heated evenly then the sides get cooked before the center part.

    Next time try buying an aluminium pan(preferred) or may be a nonstick pan and try out, sure you will succeed.

    line the aluminium pan with grease paper or apply butter and dust some flour, then pour ur batter. after baking let it cool down and then invert. Sure it comes out good…

    Also you can try covering the batter on top with a grease paper. Just put it over the batter loosely and bake. This ensures even cooking of the cake without burning.

    Regarding tutti fruity, I think this recipe's batter is too thin to hold the fruit….

    Reply

  202. Hi

    Thanks for letting me know the problem. I will for sure try baking using an aluminium pan and will keep u updated

    Can u pls let me know if i can grease the aluminium pan with oil and dust it with flour instead of butter as iam allergic to butter.

    I also tried your paniyaram recipe and they came out so perfect and the taste was just like the restaurant ones.

    Thank you so much for your prompt response.

    I tried out your recipe, although I made the mistake of adding 1 cup of oil instead of 1/4 cup. Even so, the cake came out so soft and moist and absolutely delicious. Loved it. This is the first time my chocolate cake came out this way.

  236. Hi Raks,
    I tried this recipe out today and was kinda huge flop 🙁 The cake was tasting bitter!!!!! Do u have any idea as to what could have gone wrong?? I used exactly the same ingredients as u did but just that I used microwave for cooking the cake..but that shouldnt be changing the taste of the cake right 🙁

  242. Hi Shweta and Sachu, this recipe is only for baking in convectional mode, not in microwave mode.
    Shweta, I think when you do this in microwave mode, there are chances of getting burnt and turning out bitter, I hope that's y this could have gone bitter.

    Sachu, please let me know why your cake was not good,so that we can figure out what could have been the problem…

  256. Super easy and rather tasty cake. I didn't bother to sift the dry ingredients beforehand. I just whisked them thoroughly in a separate bowl. I baked mine in a 9×13 inch sheet pam and sliced them into 1.25''x2.25'' rectangles. I trimmed the cake edges and got 24 perfect pieces. Thanks for this super quick and delicious recipe.

  258. hi raji i tried this cake today . corner of the cake was chewy . i baked it for 30 mins. i checked after 30 mins the knife came clean but when i cut it, it was little bit sticky on the knife. do i need to bake longer. i used square spring form. and i have another doubt how much 1 cup equal to grams. as u said the batter should be watery but for me it was not llike that then i adjusted the water. could you please reply it soon. i want to try it again because my daugter birthday comes in 4 days

    Reply

  260. Hi Jeya,

    The temperature settings sometimes can vary upon the oven make and model, so if your oven is too hot it happens, try reducing 10 degrees than mentioned and try. You can also trim the edges after it cools down completely. 1 cup of each ingredient varies, so I recommend you to search online for the specific ingredient. My cup is US metric cup. So you can find it online easily. If not let me know, I can do it for you..

  264. hi i tried the recipe again but again it didnt come good. one side was thick and another side was thick. as i said earlier i used 9 inch square spring form.hat would be the problem

My 8 and 9 yrs old sons have baked it so many times yet they still can't get enough of it. Within half an hour no crumb would be left. They want to learn to make icing for chocolate fudge cake to enjoy it with vanilla ice cream. have you got any?

  314. Hello Raji didi.
    I have been wanting to bake since forever. And yesterday i got my OTG 😀 So, today i tried this cake. But my attempt was unsuccessful 🙁 I have doubts on what might have gone wrong? I did do a few things that i think caused the cake to taste bitter in the upper part (crust) and the base didn't bake well. I preheated my oven as stated, mixed my ingredients properly (apart from the thing that i put sugar with dry ingredients by mistake and then mixed everything so maybe the sugar dint dissolve at all) and then kept it for said time. My toothpick came out neat, it lok beautiful, but it tasted..uhm not so good 🙁 Help me?

    Reply

  322. geetu,

    Try putting one baking sheet (butter paper or parchment paper) before you pour the batter. It will sure help.

    Vaish

    Sure it could be that the sugar dint dissolve at all. Try making again and use fine grain sugar and mix as mentioned, sure it will come out good. All the best!

  374. I am a regular follower of your recipes. I follow the exact measurements, it tastes yummm and my hubby praises me 🙂 !!!

    I have already tried baking 4-5 times.
    First few times, I followed recipes from Mrs. Mallika Badrinath's book.
    I used a glass vessel, 180 deg temp and it was done in around 35-40 mins.
    I even tried with 200 deg temp and an aluminium container, and it all came out perfectly fine, moist and soft..

    >> Then, I saw this recipe and wanted to half it, and by mistake, I put the entire amount of sugar instead of half..
    >> Next, I tried substituting sugar with demerara sugar
    Did not succeed

    >> I then got sick of trying and followed the exact measurements mentioned here..
    Did not succeed

    >> Next, I tried chocolate cake with butter from some site..

    All of them was a major flop show and with a heavy heart, I had to throw them all… 🙁
    I baked with 180 deg, other time with 200 deg, with glass container, glass container on top of the stand..
    With 180 deg, it never got cooked even after 45 mins
    With 200 deg, centre did not get cooked even after 1 hour.
    180 deg is the minimum temp..
    Cake became chewy and rubbery 🙁

    What could be the problem? Is the oven temperature not proper?
    Please help..

I had to increase the temp after 45 min then some how cake get baked but top layer is too dark and its not spongy but its chewy.. Please mention the temperature for microwave convection mode..

  384. My oven is also microwave convection one. So its the same. I have no idea what exactly is the problem. but once you decided to bake at a temperature, do not open in between until the cake almost gets baked.

    Am one of ur regular follower. ur recipes are awesome and the idea of step wise pictures are really helpful.
    yesterday i made this cake. the texture, crispness and all that came out really well. i followed the same measurements wat u have told. but still the cake was tasting bitter. i dont know how the bitterness came into it.

    i have used baking cocoa. wat u ve mentioned is cocoa powder. is both are the same ? was dat problem cos of this alternation.

    thanks

  416. Hi,

    The above eggless cake recipe is baking in my oven as I type. It looks so soft and fluffy that i had to give it a try. I am wondering though, will it take the weight of a ganache filling? Also, what if i substitute half the oil with butter? I have to make a eggless chocolate cake. Thank you.

  432. Hi,
    Very simple and easy recipe. A big thank you. I baked them as cup cakes and topped it with ready made whipped cream (as suggested by my daughter) and it was very moist and chocolaty. Used brown sugar and wheat flour and the taste was just great.

Since, i dont have an oven i baked this cake in an pressure cooker for 1 hour. i poured the batter in an greased two aluminium molds and placed both the molds one above the other and baked for an hour in an cooker. The cake was perfectly baked. The smell and the taste gathered our entire family. Thanks for the wonderful recipe.

  462. Dear Raji,
    I've tried your wonderful recipe of this cake but I replaced the water wt chocolate milk. The taste was…. INCREDIBLE. My friends did not believe when they first ate the cake that it was – eggless & butterless

    I have tried this recipe and the texture came out to be exactly same as urs, but it tasted sugarless.
    I attempted it with brown dermera sugar and second time with white cane sugar.Please tell me where I went wrong.
    I used 1 and 1/4 cup sugar

  468. Hi Raks,
    I hav tried many of ur recipes nd sum came out really well, but this eggless cake was kinda disaster. Mine is a 20 ltr convection microwave nd I gave 35 mins but around 18 mins itself the toothpick came out clean so I removed it then as it didn't cum out from the tin I gave another 15 mins but the upper portion became hard and burnt. Pls reply wat should I do? 🙁

Dry ingredients first then all the liquids, I never liked this process though, it was hard to mix together without making a mess. Its always my standby chocolate cake when I have no eggs. Cheers!

  526. Hi Raks

    I tried baking came by following this recipe. I used exact same measurements and baked for 28 mins on convention mode at 180 c. But it burnt.

    How long we should preheat oven? I did for 10 mins. I used glass bake ware.

  530. hello! very good recipe!
    turned out to be baked very quickly as it was very thin.
    the consistency is perfect, i'm amazed, as I've never baked a water based cake
    but I found that mine lacked chocolate and was too sugary.
    can i put less sugar and more cocoa without altering the texture?
    thanks a lot for this wonderful recipe
    Léa <3

  550. Hi raks,
    This is my first baking experience with this recipie…….it turned out good but with some defects like the cake was sticky bt when i inserted the tooth pick it came out clean….secondly sweetness was less…Please could u clarify upon this…

  558. Tried this with wheat flour today. Came out very well! Added 1 tbsp of water extra as per your recipe in Banana chocolate cake. Thanks a lot Raji for all your baking tips. Really helps a lot.
    Important note:
    Today when my Microwave was done with preheat @ 180 degree C, there was a powercut 🙁 Was wondering how the cake would turn out since it was atleast half hour by the time the power came. Again i had preheat the oven to 180 degrees and then baked for 30 mins. It might help someone out there when power goes off. We dont hv to panic. Just preheat again and bake for almost the same mentioned time!

  582. Hi,
    I tried this cake today. It came out well. No mess. I felt the sweetness was low, i think it's due to the sugar that we get at US. The sweetness of the sugar is lower here than what we get in India. Can oil be replaced with melted butter ? Just to enhance the richness of the cake.
