Decadent Eggless Chocolate Cake

By
Chocolate cake is definitely a crowd-pleaser that everyone loves. Soft, moist and chocolaty, this chocolate cake made without eggs makes great base for various chocolate frostings and chocolate cake desserts. Not only does this cake taste good, it is also quite a bit healthier than your classic chocolate cake. However, even though healthier ingredients are used, the cake still has a soft and moist texture, which means that yes, you can have your cake and eat it too.



In this basic version of the recipe, you can serve the cake plain or with the chocolate frosting. As I’m sure you’ve guessed, it tastes better with the chocolate frosting!


Serves 6

Ingredients For Chocolate Cake 
1 cup maida,
3 tbsp good quality cocoa powder,
2 tbsp powdered brown sugar,
1/4th tsp baking powder,
1/4th tsp baking soda,
200 gms milkmaid,
50 gms butter + 2 tbsp cooking oil,
1/4th cup water + 2 tbsp water,
1 tsp vanilla essence

Ingredients For Chocolate Ganache
200 ml Amul cream
250 gms dark chocolate
2-3 tbsp of chocochips
More dark chocolate for garnish


Method:

Baking The Cake

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees
  2. Line a cake tin with butter paper and set aside
  3. Measure out the maida and remove 3 tbsp out of it
  4. After that add in the remaining dry ingredients and set aside
  5. Mix all the wet ingredients in a separate bowl
  6. Now combine the dry mix into the wet mix 
  7. Pour the batter into the cake tin
  8. Bake for 30 mins at 180 degrees 
  9. Allow to cool completely before removing from tin


 Making Chocolate Ganache

  1. Heat the cream in a heavy bottom pan on gentle heat
  2. Add the chopped dark chocolate and mix well
  3. The ganache will become smooth and silky 
  4. Allow this to cool completely and thicken



 To Assemble

  1. Cut the cake from the middle horizontally
  2. Place the first slice on the serving/display plate 
  3. Spread a generous layer of ganache on top of it 
  4. Top it with chocochips
  5. Place the second layer on top
  6. Now cover the entire cake with ganache and smoothen it out from all sides 
  7. Garnish with some fresh strawberries and chocolate shavings or chocochips
  8. Allow the cake to chill in the fridge for atleast 2 hours before cutting the cake
  9. This will help the cake to set properly and all the flavours to come together
  10. Cut individual portions and serve

Low Calorie No-Bake Chocolate Cheesecake

By
As the post title suggests, Low Calorie No-Bake Chocolate Cheesecake, you must be wondering, if there is chocolate and its a cheesecake, how could it be low calorie - well, its not really low calorie, but it would be definitely lower than an actual "cheesecake" :) This cheesecake is a fast track recipe which can be thrown in within a few minutes. I don't follow the classic baked cheesecake method. I've tried earlier and failed. But later I came across the no-bake cheesecake recipe and that became the base for all kinds of cheesecakes that I have prepared earlier. Coming to the ingredients, I don't use cream cheese which is the base for any cheesecake, because, firstly, its very high in calories and secondly its very not easily available here. So see we saved some calories there, with a little price paid on the taste. However, I can bet most people won't be able to make out the difference whether there is cream cheese or something else. I'm preparing...

Pumpkin Pie Spice Mix Recipe!!!

By
As the leaves start to change color and cheery pumpkins show up on doorsteps, summer seems like a distant memory and we're smack-dab in the middle of fall. And while pumpkin spice-flavored treats make their appearance just about, well, everywhere, do you even know what it contains? Here's what it is and why you should make it at home. (Hint: It's as easy as it gets!) Guess What? There's No Pumpkin in Pumpkin Spice! For years, I thought pumpkin pie spice actually had pumpkin in it. Silly me. How on earth would you get pumpkin in there? Dehydrate and powder it? In any case, pumpkin pie spice is simply a blend of the traditional spices that go into a good ol' fashioned pumpkin pie. What's in Pumpkin Pie Spice? If you go the store-bought route, pumpkin pie spice blends can vary by manufacturer, but typically contain the more sweet-smelling spices, like cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, and ginger. Allspice and mace are also common ingredients. Why Should ...
