I’m so excited to share a very special moment with you all—my blog completes three wonderful years this month! 🎉
Looking back, it’s hard to believe how far this journey has come. What started as a simple passion project has now become such an important part of my life. These three years have been filled with learning, creativity, and so many beautiful connections. Through this blog, I’ve not only explored new ideas and tried out countless recipes, but I’ve also had the joy of interacting with so many amazing, talented, and kind-hearted people. Your support has been the backbone of this journey—every message, comment, and piece of feedback has meant so much to me.
I want to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude to all of you—my wonderful readers, friends, and family. Your continuous encouragement, constructive feedback, and unwavering belief in me have helped me grow not only as a blogger but also as a person. Some of you have become close friends, and many more of you I hope to meet in person one day. Each interaction, no matter how small, has left a mark on me and pushed me to keep improving.
To celebrate this milestone, I decided to do something special—bake a moist Decadent chocolate cake (Eggless) and decorate it myself! It felt like the perfect way to mark the occasion because baking has always been one of the things I’ve loved sharing with you all.
This time, I stepped out of my comfort zone and worked with chocolate ganache—something I’ve been wanting to try for a while. It was a slightly challenging experience, but an incredibly rewarding one. I’ll be honest—I know I still have a lot to learn when it comes to cake decorating, but I’m proud of taking this first step. Every small effort counts, and this cake is a symbol of all those tiny steps that have brought me here today.
I hope to continue this journey with the same passion and purpose—and of course, with your continued love and support. Thank you once again for being part of this adventure. Here’s to many more years of learning, sharing, and growing together!
As a part of out 145th #Foodiemonday #Bloghop theme #Cakes my humble contribution is this Yummy Chocolate cake .
DECADENT CHOCOLATE CAKE (EGGLESS)
Equipment
- 2 MIXING BOWLS
- 1 Oven
- 1 BAKING TIN
Ingredients
FOR CAKE:
- 1.5 Cups All purpose Flour(Unbleached)
- 1 Cup Granulated Sugar
- 1/2 Cup Cocoa Powder
- 250 ML Milk (Room Temperature)
- 1/2 Tsp Salt
- 1/2 Cup Olive Oil
- 1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
- 2 Tsp Vinegar
- 1 Tsp Baking Soda
For Ganache:
- 3/4 Cup Dark Choco Chips
- 250 ML Heavy Cream
For Toppings:
- 3 Nos Ferrero Rocher Chocolates
- 6 Nos Fresh Strawberries
- 12 Nos Chocolate Eggs
Instructions
Preheat & Prepare the Tin:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) for 10 minutes.
- Grease a cake tin and dust it lightly with flour. Set it aside.
Dry Ingredients:
- Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt into a large mixing bowl. Repeat the sifting process twice for a smooth and airy texture.
- In a separate bowl, sift the sugar to remove lumps.
Wet Ingredients:
- In another bowl, mix milk, vinegar, sugar, and oil.
- Let it sit for a few minutes until the sugar completely dissolves.
Combine Mixtures:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently.
- Mix until you get a smooth batter with no lumps. Do not overmix.
Bake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin.
- Bake for about 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, transfer the cake to a cooling rack and let it cool completely.
Chocolate Ganache
- Heat heavy cream in a saucepan until it reaches a gentle simmer. Do not boil.
- Turn off the heat and pour the hot cream over chocolate chips in a bowl.
- Cover and let it sit undisturbed for 5 minutes.
- After 5 minutes, gently mix the cream and chocolate until you get a smooth, glossy ganache.
- Let the ganache cool completely to reach spreading consistency.
Assemble & Decorate
- Once the cake is completely cooled, pour the ganache over the top.
- Spread it evenly across the cake using a spatula.
- Decorate with your favorite toppings (sprinkles, nuts, fruits, etc.).I have decorated with chocolates and strawberries.
- Slice and serve!
- Enjoy this super moist, rich, and decadent eggless chocolate cake!
Notes
Notes & Tips
- Use room-temperature ingredients: This helps the batter mix evenly and improves the texture of the cake.
- Don’t skip the vinegar: Vinegar reacts with baking soda to help the cake rise, making it soft and fluffy. You won’t taste it in the final cake.
- Sift your ingredients: Sifting the dry ingredients (especially cocoa powder) helps avoid lumps and gives the cake a light, even crumb.
- Don’t overmix: Overmixing can lead to a dense or chewy cake. Mix just until there are no visible streaks of flour.
- Use buttermilk in case you do not have Vinegar . Skip the milk.
- Baking time may vary: Every oven is slightly different. Start checking the cake around the 35-minute mark by inserting a toothpick in the center. If it comes out clean or with a few crumbs, it’s done.
- Cool completely before decorating: Ganache or any frosting will melt if applied to a warm cake. Allow the cake to cool fully on a wire rack.
- Ganache consistency tip: If your ganache is too runny, let it sit at room temperature until it thickens. If it becomes too thick, gently warm it up again.
- Storage: This cake stays moist for 2–3 days at room temperature (in a cool climate), or refrigerate it for up to 5 days. Bring to room temperature before serving for best taste.
- Make it your own: Add chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or a hint of coffee powder to the batter for extra richness.
