My cakes and cookies are coming well than bread….. And i am eagerly waiting to read ur next post on Icing Decoration……

Thanks Nandhini. That cake recipe is a no-fail recipe. Will definitely update the cake decorating post very soon.

hi.Madhu
i will give higher rating to the tofu cake than to this cake. this is nice but the other cake is Rich.

I agree with you Sheetal. When it comes to simplicity this one tops.

Hi Madhuram,
i was baking the cake but it seems that i had to keep increasing the baking time as the center was still wet. was it because my baking tin was too small?

I have baked this cake a number of times and have not had any difficulty at all. This cake comes out well in an 8 or 9-inch cake pan (any shape though) and as cupcakes too. So I too am assuming that the pan size you have used is the culprit. Also if you keep opening the oven door a couple of times while the cake is still baking, it lets cool air inside and disturbs the baking process.

Hi Madhuram,

I bake my egg-free chocolate cake using condensed milk. Although the result is good each time, its a little dry for my liking. When I saw your oh-so dark n delicious cake, I thought why not give this a try. I’ve always been skeptical about using oil instead of butter. And vinegar! I could never think of it. But I did try this one and it turned out to be delectably moist. Thanks a zillion of bringing me out of my comfort zone and getting thumbs-up from family! I used distilled vinegar to see if vinegar works at all. Next time around, I’ll make sure to use apple cider (read it somewhere in your blog). Thank you.

You’re most welcome Nilambara. Yes, apple cider vinegar is a better alternative to the regular distilled white vinegar.

hi madhuram…
awesome !! it was good for a vegan cake …it was the day b4 our anniversary …I was wondering what sweet to make when I my kid suggested a cake … thanks to her …I tried this out !! but I didnt hv cocoa so instead used bournvita still it turned out yummy…I should say it was a huge success …..But only thing I wanted to chk..my cake was little sticky while consuming but still was soft, tasty & by all means like any other choco cake thanks …

Wow Varsha, you are trying a lot of recipes from my blog. So special thanks to you too. I’m guessing that the stickiness is because of Bournvita. See unsweetened cocoa powder does not have sugar in it whereas Bournvita does, maybe that’s secreting excess moisture and making it sticky. This is just my wild guess because the cake I baked was unbelievably soft and fluffy.
