Total Time: 1 hour

Serves:  6 to 7 Chocolate Lovers

For Cake Ingredients:

• 1 cup refined flour Or wheat flour (1 used 1/2 cup refined+1/2 cup wheat)
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder
• 20 dried cranberries
• 1 t/s instant coffee
• 100 gms skimmed milk powder Or almond powder(I have used almond powder 50 gms and milk powder 50 gms)
• 2 t/s baking powder
• 1 tbsp corn flour
• 1 t/s salt
• 1 cup brown sugar Or as required
• 1 cup chilled milk
• 3 tbsp cold water
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract Or essence
• 1 t/s line juice Or vinegar

For Frosting Ingredients: (Frosting is Optional)

• 1/2 cup dark chocolate
• 3 tbsp shavings of chocolate
• 3 tbsp Flakes of Coconut
• Few Candies

Method:

Preheat oven at 170°C just before ten mine of baking the cake. I have used a tart pan for this cake. If tart pan is not available you can use any type of pan you desire. Just grease it generously and dust some flour on it. Since I used a tart pan the bottom is detachable it becomes easier to unmould the cake. I don’t have pic for this one.

Combine cold milk, water, dried cranberries, almond Or milk powder, coffee and brown sugar. Grind into the processor until amalgamated into each other. This mixture should be cold so just grind it before adding to the dry ingredients.

Sieve all dry ingredients which is flour, baking powder, salt, corn flour. Sift 2 to 3 times.

Also add cocoa powder to dry ingredients.

Now fold the cold milk mixture into the dry ingredients. Also add olive oil. Fold the batter gently with a spatula or spoon. Lastly add essence and vinegar. Combine all nicely.

Pour the batter into the greased pan.

Bake at 170°C for about 40 mins Or until the skewer comes out almost clean.

Allow the cake to cool. After 10 mins unmould the cake.

Method:

Just melt the chocolate in a double boiler or microwave. Pour this melted chocolate on the cake. Spread chocolate shavings on it. Now sprinkle some flakes of coconut. Decorate the cake with some candies or sweets.

Your Eggless Chocolate Cake is ready. Serve hot or chilled tastes great anyways. You could also add a dollop of chantily cream Or icecream.

Tip:

1. You could replace milk powder with almond powder.
2. Also milk can be replaced with coconut milk.
3. Nuts can be used to enhance more flavor.
4. Frosting is optional.
5. The cake will be soft in the center when baked so its okay. As once it cools down the cake will be properly set.

Enjoy Chocolatey!
