Thank You!
It was my mother-in-laws bday a couple of days ago. She does not eat cakes with eggs and so I thought it would be good to make her a special eggless cake for her bday. Even though, I'm not a big fan of eggless cakes, I think I really liked this end product. The difference between the egged version and the eggless version is probably just a couple of points - the cake is not too spongy or soft like the egged version. And the cake does not rise much like the one with the egg. Now, some people add a can of coke to this for it to rise. But, my mil does not like carbonated drinks and so I could not add that too. The sweetness is the same even though I did not add sugar directly at all. The sweetness comes from the condensed milk and the whipped cream.
It is way easier than the other cake to make. Just a few ingredients - mix and bake.
Here are the measurements - You can halve this for a smaller cake.
Self Rising Flour: 2 cups
Condensed Milk: 1 can
Butter: 2 sticks
Cocoa Powder: 2 tsp
Vanilla Extract - about 1 tsp
Baking Powder: 2 tsp
Baking Soda: 1tsp
200 ml of water
Melt the butter, if the butter is really soft, that works good too.
In another mixing bowl, pour the condensed milk and all of the melted butter.
Slowly incorporate a little but at a time of the dry flour mixture into this and mix well.
You will need to add the 200 ml of water at this point.
That's how the cake batter looks! Dent it a little bit by putting your finger in there and licking it - beware - no double dipping!
In a bowl, pour a quart of heavy cream and add a cup of powdered sugar to this. Whip well with a beater until the cream starts to hold its spikes! In other words, until the cream is firm. Refrigerate immediately when this is done until you are ready to use it.
On the bottom half, spread the whipped cream.
What a lovely cake. love the chocolate shavings topping!
