    moist chocolate walnut cake is a yummy dessert with a nice nutty flavor. You will never go wrong with it. Basic eggless chocolate cake decorated with crunchy walnuts or any nuts of your choice makes your day. Have a slice of this rustic cake with your morning coffee or have it with ice cream for dinner. It is an amazing recipe.You can even replace chocolate flavor with coffee and enjoy your coffee walnut slice. As coffee is not so good for kids, I still prefer the chocolate nut cake.

    How to make eggless chocolate cake?

    Baking is an amazing therapy. Nothing is better than moist chocolate cake. It helps you de-stress. However, most cakes either have egg or maida. Either they are too creamy  or totally dry, when bought from the market. What do you do when eggs don't suit you? When you want to avoid eggs even if they do?

    Make your own using this below recipe. You will not be disappointed. It helps me avoid the extra sugar, preservatives and cream from the commercial preparations. You can also make eggless chocolate cake with condensed milk if you like. I find it a bit dense and extra sweet. I prefer the butter milk version. When you have a kid at home, you want to give them healthy food. Making cakes with wholewheat/atta is much better than plain flour/maida. Plain flour is devoid of fiber and thus not good for the gut. When you make it at home, you can also add sugar according to your palate and avoid the extra sugar in your diet.

    Notes

    Due to the usage of whole meal flour,'baking soda' instead of 'baking powder' is required in this recipe.
    The batter might look a bit thick due to the use of wholemeal flour.
    Curdling the milk with vinegar helps the cake to be more soft when it works with baking soda.
    The sugar used is powdered after measure. if you powder the sugar then measure it, it will not be that sweet.

      Hi
      Thank u for sharing a whole wheat cake recipe.

      Can oil be replaced by butter. If yes, what should be the measurements for butter.

      Thanks

        Yes , you may replace that by 250gm butter/1 cup butter. The butter needs to be a room temperature .You may beat the butter with sugar first and add the flour etc later .Also the texture with butter is a bit different and you may need to re-heat the cake before serving as the butter will make the cake hard in cold weather.
