Have you ever wanted to bake a small cake just for a few people? Well, I have wanted to bake a tiny cake just for our small family and most of all, I have wanted to bake a cake that got over that evening itself so that I won't be tempted with left overs the next day!
I finally came across a recipe that served my purpose and this was absolutely delicious! The cake is egg free and dairy free and the ingredients are simple and easily available and best of all it takes no time to put together. The cake is so rich, so moist and so yum! And I topped it with nutella ganache, it was an absolute irresistible cake!
I baked this cake for my daughter's friend's family and they couldn't stop raving about this cake and the kids have given me a new nickname - 'cake aunty'!!
I already have an egg free and dairy free chocolate cake recipe which makes an 8 inch cake. This makes a 5 or 6 inch cake and I loved the flavor of this one more than the other cake! I also have another egg free chocolate cake which uses yogurt.
EGG FREE, DAIRY FREE, MINI CHOCOLATE CAKE
Preparation time 10 mins | Baking time 20-25 mins | Makes one 6"cake

EGG FREE, DAIRY FREE, MINI CHOCOLATE CAKE
Preparation time 10 mins | Baking time 20-25 mins | Makes one 6"cake
Recipe Source - hershey's kitchen
Ingredients
- All purpose flour (maida) - 3/4 cup
- Granulated Sugar - 1/2 cup
- Hershey's cocoa - 3 tbsp
- Baking soda - 1/2 tsp
- Water - 1/2 cup
- Vegetable oil - 3 tbsp
- White vinegar - 1/2 tsp
- Vanilla extract - 1/2 tsp
- Salt - 1/8 tsp
- Instant coffee granules - 1/4 tsp
Method
1. Pre heat the oven to 180 degrees C. Grease and line a 5 or 6 inch baking pan. I used 5 inch cake tin.
2. In a mixing bowl add the oil. Add vinegar and vanilla extract and whisk well.
6. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes and then remove the cake from pan. Let cool completely.
Notes
1. You can dissolve the coffee granules to water and add it.
2. I powdered my sugar before adding to the batter since the sugar we get here are quite large and quite difficult to dissolve.
3. If you don't have vinegar, you can try using lemon juice.
4. The cake is extremely soft and moist, if you don't handle it with care, it will break.

ReplyDeleteDear, Please can you help me with the settings to bake this in a microwave convection mode. Appreciate your response. I would love to bake this for my bday!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lakshmi
Hi Lakshmi, I'm extremely sorry, I somehow seem to have missed your comment/question! I know, it's too late now but still... I use a convection microwave too for all my bakes. Change the settings to oven mode (180 C) and proceed as per the recipe. If you want to bake this cake only in the microwave mode, then this cake might take only about 5 mins, not sure though! Belated birthday wishes to you! Hope you had a great day!
