When it comes to baking, eggs are often a key ingredient in many recipes. However, for those who follow a vegetarian or vegan diet or have an egg allergy, finding delicious eggless desserts can sometimes be a challenge. Fear not, as we bring you a fantastic recipe for a sweet steamed chocolate cake that is both eggless and absolutely divine.
This recipe uses simple pantry ingredients that you may already have on hand. So, let’s get started on making this delightful treat.
Ingredients:
– 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup buttermilk (or vegan substitute like almond milk)
– 1/2 cup vegetable oil
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup hot water
Instructions:
1. In a mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Ensure there are no lumps in the dry ingredients.
2. Add the buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix well until all the ingredients are combined into a smooth batter.
3. Gradually add the hot water to the batter, stirring continuously. The hot water helps to activate the cocoa powder and creates a rich chocolatey flavor. Mix until the batter is smooth and well incorporated.
4. Take a round cake pan and grease it with a little vegetable oil or spray it with non-stick cooking spray. This will prevent the cake from sticking to the pan once it is steamed.
5. Pour the batter into the greased cake pan, filling it about three-quarters of the way. Smooth the top of the batter with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
6. Now it’s time to steam the cake. Place a steaming rack or rack insert at the bottom of a large pot. Pour water into the pot, making sure it doesn’t reach the rack. Place the cake pan onto the rack, ensuring it is stable.
7. Cover the pot with a lid and steam the cake over medium heat for about 40-45 minutes. Check the cake by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
8. Once the cake is done, remove it from the pot and let it cool in the pan for a few minutes. Run a knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the cake. Then carefully invert the pan onto a plate or cooling rack to remove the cake.
9. Allow the steamed chocolate cake to cool completely before serving. Optionally, you can dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar or drizzle it with a chocolate glaze for added indulgence.
This eggless steamed chocolate cake is moist, fluffy, and bursting with rich chocolate flavor. The steaming method ensures a tender texture, making it a delightful dessert that everyone can enjoy.
So, go ahead and impress your friends and family with this delectable sweet steamed chocolate cake recipe. With its simplicity and eggless nature, it is sure to become a favorite in your household and a go-to dessert for any occasion.
