Basic Eggless Chocolate Cake ~ Simple Delicious Food Recipes

Basic Eggless Chocolate Cake is the simplest one you can make when trying out eggless cakes. This uses oil instead of butter and it makes it best to refrigerate and frost later.

I have some similar recipes for eggless basic versions but I went ahead made it exactly like what Gayathri baked for our workshop. The Dark Ganache she packed for me also prompted I recreate the same at home. Kids were so thrilled seeing how dark and sinful this cake looked.

I baked in the 6″ baking tray that Veena sent to me. The reason why I am elated is, I lost my 6″ tray and have searched the whole house for it. I don’t have time to shop right now and imagine it landing straight on your lap! Did I mention that I have been recently adopted? Oh yes, before the other girls rush, let me claim my adopted Mom. I must say I have a stiff competition in that area. She is so sweet that everybody wants to be adopted by her. Well, the boss comes first right and the girls know it.

Anyway, I frosted the cake and the kids were so impatient to dig in. I was so happy that the dark chocolate ganache was really superb! Thanks, Gayathri. I still have another one slashed in. I say these are the perks of having baking experts for friends.
