No-Egg, No-Oven Delicate Chocolate Cake Recipe
Cake Ingredients:
- 300 ml milk (room temperature)
- 170 grams sugar
- 70 ml heated cooking oil
- 240 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams cocoa powder
- 1/2 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla powder
Chocolate Glaze:
- 250 ml milk
- 1 teaspoon Agar-Agar powder
- 250 grams dark chocolate
- 8 grams butter
- For a Mold Sized 18x18x7 cm
Instructions:
Preheat Without Oven:
- Fill a large pot or a pressure cooker with about 2 inches of water. Place a heatproof stand or trivet at the bottom. Cover it and heat it on medium heat while preparing the cake batter.
Prepare the Cake Batter:
- In a mixing bowl, combine room temperature milk, sugar, and heated cooking oil. Mix until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Sift in all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and vanilla powder. Mix until you get a smooth batter without lumps.
Grease and Prepare the Mold:
Grease the 18x18x7 cm mold with oil or butter. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
Baking Without Oven:
- Pour the prepared cake batter into the greased and lined mold.
- Place the mold on the stand/trivet inside the preheated pot/pressure cooker. Cover the pot with a lid (do not use the pressure cooker lid) and bake on medium-low heat for about 40-50 minutes.
- Check the doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, the cake is done.
- Once done, remove the cake from the pot and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
Chocolate Glaze:
Prepare the Glaze:
- In a saucepan, heat the milk until warm but not boiling. Add Agar-Agar powder and stir until dissolved.
- Add dark chocolate and butter to the warm milk. Stir continuously on low heat until the chocolate melts completely and the mixture thickens slightly.
Glazing the Cake:
- Once the cake is completely cooled, pour the warm chocolate glaze over the cake, spreading it evenly with a spatula or knife.
Setting the Glaze:
- Allow the glaze to set by refrigerating the cake for at least 1-2 hours.
- Slice and serve your delicate and delicious no-egg, no-oven chocolate cake!
