Bournvita cake is a simple fussfree eggless cake with bournvita flavour. Bournvita cake recipe with step by step pictures and video.
An easy and simple eggless bournvita cake without eggs, maida and no oven required too.
After trying bournvita mug cake I gained confidence to try a whole wheat bournvita cake with a simple frosting too. I tweaked a basic wheat cake recipe and tried this. I should say it came out so moist and tasty that it got over on the same day itself.The cake was so soft that it can be had as such too without any frosting.Trust me I am not fond of heavy frostings except for birthdays. Kids don’t complain if I serve cakes without frosting so I don’t push myself to frost cakes and cupcakes. But for this bournvita cake I wanted to make a simple frosting which I tried from here and it came out so good. So glad I frosted the cake, it was extra yummy.
Variations
- I used wheat flour you can replace with maida too.
- I have used bournvita powder as I had it. You can use boost or maltova or milo or any chocolate malted powder for this.
- You can skip frosting and have the cake as such too.
- Top it up with chocolate chips when its still warm, and spread it. Easy no cook frosting ready.
Serving Suggestion
- You can just add sprinklers or add chocolate sauce as topping.
- You can have it as a plain cake with a scoop of vanilla icecream too.
- Saying that it doesn’t mean that it can’t be had as such, I tell you it tastes delicious on its own too.

Notes
- Pulsing bournvita along with sugar makes it easy to dissolve without any lumps.
- Also use a kadai which do not want anymore for cooking as the base will get dark when you use it for stovetop baking. I use the kadai as such with a steel stand placed inside. You can add a layer of sand or salt then place stand and bake too.
- You can use cane sugar if you want. But personally I haven't tried it so not sure of the result.
- If baking in oven bake at 180 deg C for 30 - 35 mins or until a toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean.
- I used fully wheat flour, you can use a combination of maida and wheat flour half and half say 2 tablespoon wheat flour and 2 tablespoon maida.
- You can use any chocolate powder you like. You can even add horlicks. If you like add 1/2 teaspoon of cocoa powder or instant coffee powder to enhance the chocolate flavour.
- Don't worry if the cake cracks out, its normal. If you are planning for a birthday cake, then sliec the craked part and apply frosting to get a smooth flat top. I usually invert it upside down then apply frosting.
