Chocolate, Eggless Baking, Party ideas

Eggless Steamed wholewheat Chocolate Cake | Easy cake recipes | Steamed Cakes

And we wrap up the Cooking Carnival with this amazinggggggg steamed Chocolate Cake ! 

Yes, its steamed, and we loved the soft texture. Added to the fact that its completely chocolatey and made with wholewheat flour, this was one winner of a dish 🙂 I had seen couple of versions here and here, but was hesitant to try it. 

Dare I say it was way softer and yummier than the oven baked Chocolate cakes I have ever made ! No butter, no eggs, yet …. stunning !! (yes, I am running out of adjectives). 

Do you really need a reason to eat cake ??

Even not being a chocolate person, I think this was a fitting finale to the steamed food series that ran this week on this blog, and a sweet end to the Cooking Carnival.

Method:

  1. Sieve dry ingredients well ; mix wet ingredients into the dry ingredients till no dry streaks are seen. 
  2. Pour in lightly greased moulds ( you can use normal steel bowls – but I used ramekins)
  3. Cover tightly with Aluminium foil and prick small holes on top to let out the steam
  4. Keep a steamer ready with boiling water. 
  5. Steam the ramekins or the cake moulds for 22/24 mins or till fork comes clean (Steaming time might vary, but keep an eye after 22nd minute, overcooking makes them rubbery) 
  6. Makes three 4 oz + three 2oz cake 
  7. Let the cakes cool down slightly. Un mould them carefully, drizzle warm chocolate ganache / choco syrup and devour them immediately 🙂
