About Eggless Chocolate Bundt Cake

I often make a chocolate cake because my family loves it. And for me, the chocolate cake should be super moist and melt in the mouth. I have already posted some chocolate cake recipes, but my favorite is bundt cake. Because making a cake in the bundt pan is straightforward, it guarantees the even baking and looks beautiful.

The cake derives a beautiful shape, and hence sometimes, there is no need for any fancy decorations. Only a dusting of powdered sugar or a sugar glaze works fine for the bundt cakes.

My family mostly prefers a cake without icing or with very mild frost. So I have poured chocolate sauce on this eggless chocolate bundt cake. And the sauce makes the cake super chocolatey and also moistens the cake further.

If you do not want to prepare the chocolate sauce, you can simply dust the cake with powdered sugar.

Texture: This cake is amazingly moist and soft with tender crumbs. It melts in the mouth with a velvety texture.

Flavor: Full of chocolate flavor with a sweet hint of vanilla. The chocolate sauce makes the cake double chocolatey.

Ease of Making: Making the cake batter is easy and quick. There is no need for an electric mixer, and only mixing bowls, whisk, and spatula are required.

Ingredients

For The Chocolate Cake

1. Flour: I make this cake using all-purpose flour and cake flour both. And with either one, the cake comes out soft and moist. However, for a more tender and delicate cake, use cake flour. Also, measuring the flour correctly and using the kitchen scale for the best results is essential.
2. Cocoa Powder: I have tried this cake recipe using natural cocoa powder and Dutch-process. And with any cocoa powder, this cake turns out equally delicious. However, my personal favorite is Dutch-process cocoa powder. So go with your preference and use either natural cocoa powder or Dutch-process.
3. Baking Powder and Baking Soda: Both are leavening agents and are essential for this recipe.
4. Oil: Oil makes the cake very moist and soft. I have made this Eggless Chocolate Bundt Cake using Canola oil and Sunflower oil with the same results. So you can use either one or use vegetable oil.
5. Sour Cream / Yogurt: One of my go-to ingredients for baking is sour cream or yogurt. They provide moisture and make the cake moist and soft. You can use what is available to you. For yogurt, you can use plain or Greek. Homemade yogurt is perfectly fine too. Use full-fat sour cream or yogurt for the rich and moist cake.
6. Milk + White Vinegar: This is a DIY version of buttermilk. It is an easy homemade substitute if you can not find the store-bought buttermilk. Instead of white vinegar, lemon juice or apple cider vinegar can also be used. But I prefer white vinegar. Use full-fat or 2% milk to make buttermilk, and do not use low-fat milk.
7. Hot Water: Hot water makes cocoa powder bloom and dissolve. After adding hot water, the batter will be very thin. And that makes this cake further moist.
8. Instant Coffee: Adding a coffee powder into hot water is optional. But coffee makes the cake darker in color without tasting the coffee.
9. Vanilla: This flavor goes perfectly well with the chocolate cake. Use pure vanilla if possible for the best flavors.

For The Chocolate Sauce

1. Whipping Cream: Cream makes the sauce rich, smooth, creamy, and velvety. Heat the cream until it is hot and the sugar is completely dissolved. But do not boil the cream. It should be hot enough to melt the chocolate chips but not boiling.
2. Chocolate Chips: Use chocolate chips or roughly chopped chocolate bar. If you like a deeper chocolatey taste, use dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet.
3. Sugar: Two tablespoon of sugar will make the sauce perfectly sweet.
4. Butter: Adding a little butter makes the sauce shiny and smooth. Instead of butter, you can also add a teaspoon of coconut oil.
