Key Eggless Chocolate Cake Ingredients & Substitutions
Each ingredient serves an important role. I have also listed substitution to the ingredients. But for best results follow the recipe carefully and please do remember, all the ingredients should be at room temperature.
Dry Ingredients
All-Purpose Flour | Maida: The structure and crumb of the cake depends on the flour. Use plain unbleached flour. Substitution: Whole wheat flour.
Jaggery: Star ingredient of our cake recipe. I prefer using jaggery powder, as it is convenient and easily dissolves in milk. Jaggery adds more moisture to cake than refined white sugar. Brings an extremely beautiful color and flavour to cake. Jaggery powder is available in grocery stores. You can even order it from any online grocery store. Substitution: Dark brown sugar.
Unsweetened Cocoa Powder: Imparts rich color and taste. Prefer using good quality cocoa powder like Hershey’ or Cadbury or Happy Chef.
Chocolate – I love chocolate chunks in my cake, so I added dark chocolate chunks. You can even use chocolate chips or any chocolate of your choice.
NOTE: If using dark chocolate, then increase the quantity of jaggery. Dark chocolate will add slight bitter taste to cake, which I like the most.
Baking Powder – Helps leaven and add volume to our cake.
Wet Ingredients
Milk – I prefer using skimmed milk. Milk helps in bringing the necessary moisture in the cake. This also helps in combining the ingredients well.
Lemon Juice – Key ingredient in our chocolate cake recipe. The magical combination of baking powder and lemon juice is what helps the cake to turn soft and moist upon baking.
Vanilla – You can use pure vanilla extract or essence in this cake recipe. Substitution: You can even use chocolate essence, which is easily available these days.
Oil – Don’t use butter in this cake recipe. Cocoa powder is a particularly dry ingredient, so this cake needs oil for suitable moisture. I normally use refined sunflower oil. You can use any flavourless vegetable oil.
Other ingredients
These are optional ingredients, if not available handy, then skip them. But adding these two will take the cake next level.
Cinnamon Powder – Compliments the taste of chocolate. Provides the cake with aroma, flavour and color.
Nutmeg Powder – Adds nutty, earthy and slightly sweet, but not sugary taste to our chocolate cake.
