About Eggless Chocolate Cupcake

Eggless chocolate cupcake is a popular cupcake recipe which many people make at home. It is made by mixing dry and wet ingredients together and baking till soft, this method is very basic and easy to follow. Even without eggs, the cupcake comes out moist and fluffy when it is done right, this recipe works well.

The texture of these cupcakes is soft inside with slightly firm top, it has good bite and not crumbly. Cocoa powder gives deep chocolate flavor and milk keeps the batter light and smooth. Oil is used instead of butter which makes the cupcake moist even after cooling, it was still soft next day also. 

You can just decorate this cupcake as you like, there is no fixed way. Colorful sprinklers makes it more fun especially for kids, they enjoy it a lot. You can also skip frosting and enjoy it plain with tea, it tastes good that way also. The cupcakes are not very dense and are easy to bite, kids like it.

I usually bake this when kids ask for something sweet or when guests come suddenly, this recipe helps then always. It does not need much planning and ingredients are always at home, most kitchens have it ready anytime.

Eggless Chocolate Cupcake Ingredients

• Maida - I used as the main flour. It makes the cupcake soft and light. You can reduce and use more wheat flour if you prefer.
• Wheat flour - I have added this for little healthy touch and balance. It also gives slight texture. You can replace fully with maida if needed.
• Icing sugar - This is used to sweeten the batter evenly. It mixes well without grainy feel. You can powder regular sugar and use.
• Cocoa powder - I have used this for chocolate flavor and color. It gives rich taste to the cupcake. 
• Oil - I just add it for moistness. It helps the cake stay soft even later also. You can use any neutral oil.
• Milk - I added to make this the batter smooth and light. It helps in baking the cake evenly.
• Cooking soda - I added for rise and to stay soft. Make sure it is fresh. Do not add extra as taste will change.
• Vanilla essence - It is added for nice aroma and flavor. It balances the cocoa taste well. You can skip if not available.

Expert Tips

• Sieve - I make sure to sieve flour, cocoa and sugar well. This avoids lumps and gives smooth batter. Try not to skip this step.
• Batter consistency - The batter will be little watery only. Do not add extra flour thinking it is thin. This helps in soft texture.
• Oven preheating - I usually preheat oven properly before baking. This helps cup cakes to rise evenly.
• Cooling before frosting - I let cupcakes cool fully before adding glaze. If not, frosting will melt and slide off little bit.
• Add ons - You can also add in some choco chips, chopped nuts like badam, cashew or pista for extra crunch.
