Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour whole
- ¾ cup Sugar granulated
- 3 tbsp Cocoa Powder
- ½ tsp Baking Soda
- 1 tsp Salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup Water
- ¼ cup Vegetable Oil
- 1 tbsp Lime Juice
- ½ tsp Vanilla Extract
Chocolate Glaze
- 100 grams Chocolate chopped, dark
- 100 grams Heavy Cream
- 1 tbsp Butter unsalted
Instructions
Preheat & Prep
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 6-inch round cake pan.
Combine Dry Ingredients
- Whisk together the whole wheat flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Sift the dry ingredients together 7-8 times for a smooth batter.
Combine Wet Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the cold water, vegetable oil, lime juice, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Combine Wet & Dry
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix. The batter will be thin.
Bake the Cake
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Make the Chocolate Glaze
- While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat. Once simmering, remove from heat and add the chopped dark chocolate and butter. Stir until smooth and glossy.
Glaze & Decorate
- Once the cake has cooled slightly, pour the chocolate glaze over the top and let it set. Decorate with sprinkles, white chocolate shavings, or fresh berries (optional).
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Perfect Eggless Chocolate Cake
- Don't Overmix: Overmixing the batter will develop gluten and result in a tough cake. Mix only until the ingredients are just combined.
- Room Temperature Ingredients: For best results, use room-temperature ingredients, especially the oil.
- Check for Doneness: Start checking for doneness at 30 minutes. Every oven varies. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs, not wet batter.
- Let it Cool: Allow the cake to cool completely before glazing. This prevents the glaze from melting or sliding off.
