Equipment

  • 1 OTG

Ingredients
  

Dry ingredients

  • 1 Cup All purpose flour
  • 1/3 Cup Icing Sugar
  • 3 tbsp Unsweetened Cocoa powder
  • 1/4 tsp Baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp Baking powder

Wet ingredients

  • 1/2 Cup Oil
  • 3/4 Cup Hot water
  • 1 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp Vanilla Essence

Instructions
 

  • Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl until they are evenly combined and lump-free.
  • In a separate bowl, mix warm water and oil until they blend well.
  • Pour the oil–water mixture into the dry ingredients gradually and mix gently to form a smooth batter. Ensure there are no clumps.
  • Add vanilla essence and mix well.
  • Grease a cake pan using ghee or oil and set aside.
  • Preheat the oven at 200 degree Celsius for 3 minutes.
  • Just before baking, add lemon juice to the batter and mix gently. This reacts with the baking soda and helps the cake rise.
  • Pour the batter into the greased pan, place it in the pre heated oven.
  • Bake at 180 degree Celsius for 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
  • Allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes, then gently de mould by turning it upside down onto a plate.
  • Slice and serve your soft, moist eggless chocolate cake. Enjoy its rich flavour and fluffy texture!
