I have been making quite a few chocolate cakes recently for my clients. Couple weeks back i got a order for eggless chocolate cake. I wanted to make a new recipe, i came across a eggless cake recipe from raks kitchen, loved it so much. I tried it and found that the cake came so moist and soft.

This cake recipe make two 15 cm round cakes, which you can sandwich with any of your favorite frosting and make a two layered cakes. If you dont want to frost it, just bake it in a large rectangle pan, or half the recipe. I took few spoons of batter and baked it in my small heart pan to show you how it looks..So give this a try and let me know how it turns out..

Hi,
I prepared this cake using lemon juice instead of vinegar and milk instead of water, what difference would it make if I followed your ingredients?? Please advice. I love your recipes...
