Basic Eggless Chocolate Cake

 
This is a simple chocolate cake recipe without eggs....this recipe can also be used to make cupcakes. I prepared 6 medium sized cupcakes with  this measurement..

Prep Time:10 mins
Cook Time: 30 mins


Ingredients:
All Purpose Flour / Wheat Flour - 1 cup
Baking Powder - 1 tsp
Baking Soda - 1/2 tsp
Unsweetened Cocoa Powder - 6 tsp
Sugar - 3/4 cup
Vegetable oil or Butter - 1/2 cup
Hot Coffee -1/4 cup
Milk - 1/4 cup, room temp
Yogurt - 1/2 cup, room temp
Vanilla essence - 1 tsp
Salt - a pinch

Measuring cups should be the same.
Lightly grease the cake tin or cupcake moulds.

Method:
Preheat the oven to 180 C, 10 - 20 mins before baking.
Hot Coffee - mix 1 tsp of instant coffee powder in 1/4 cup of hot water and allow it to cool.
Take sugar,oil and yoghurt in a mixer and blend it.
In a large bowl sift together the all purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder,salt, Coco powder.
Make a well in the middle and add the blended mixture and the remaining wet ingredients.
With a hand whisk, mix until the dry and wet ingredients are well combined. Do not over beat it.
Pour the batter in the prepared pan. Tap the pan a couple of times so the batter is spread evenly and there are no air bubbles.
Bake for about 25 - 30 min. Check the cake with tooth pick. Toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake should come out clean when the cake is ready.

Variations: Can mix dry fruits and nuts in the batter
