After my interesting trials, finally I have reached to a
point to say the Best Ever Eggless Chocolate Cupcake recipe is here. I was very excited to taste the cake after
each trial. Based on the taste, I made
changes to the recipe and did the next trial. It was rewarding experience to do your own
trials and come up with a flawless recipe.
This is a feast to vegans and also to Eggetarian. Also check out the Best Ever Eggless VanillaCupcake.
BEST EVER EGGLESS CHOCOLATE CUPCAKE/CAKE
Ingredients:
Cake Flour - 3/4 cup ( See how the cake flour can be made here.)
Sugar - 1/2 cup
Unsweetened cocoa powder - 2 1/2 tbsp
Baking Soda - 1/2 tsp
Salt - 1/4 tsp
Water - 1/2 cup
Oil - 4 tbsp
Apple Cider or any vinegar - 1 tbsp
Vanilla extract - 1 tsp
Instant Coffee - 1/4 tsp (Optional)
FOR CAKE FLOUR :
ALL MY TRIALS !
Method:
1. Preheat the oven
to 350 F. Line 6 cupcake liners.
2. In a large bowl
whisk all the dry ingredients.
3. In a small bowl,
whisk all the liquid ingredients with the coffee granules.
4. Pour the wet
ingredients into the dry ingredients.
Whisk until everything is well mixed. Do not over mix.
5. Fill the cupcake liner about 2/3rd.
6. Bake for about 15 to 17 minutes or until a toothpick
inserted in the cupcake center comes out clean. (Few crumbs clinging is
absolutely fine... as it will be moist)
7. Cool the cupcakes
completely before you dig in, so that it is nicely set.
Enjoy with you favorite frosting!
Note:
1. Cool the cake
completely before frosting.
2. This cake also
worked well with all purpose flour instead of Cake flour. I personally loved
the texture with cake flour.
3. A simple ganache or any whipped cream frosting tastes
heavenly.
4. You can also double the recipe. Use 9"inch baking tin, pour the batter
and bake for about 25 minutes or until a tooth pick inserted in the center of
the cake comes out clean.
5. For making
layered cake make two 9" inch cakes and frost as you love or needed.
These look lovely Pavithra, am sure they must have tasted fabulous!As always, you have made even simple cupcakes look so good!
Absolute visual treat !! Looks lovely :)))

Wow that's a nice eggless cupcake recipe. Looks yummy!
Awesome shot Pavithra, these are perfect!
Bookmarking this... Superb pics Pavithra! Great Work!!
Delicious cake
Eggles chocolate cup cake looks perfect and having a superb texture.
Bookmarked. A doubt. Is corn flour and corn starch the same?
@ Radha Yes both are same. In the USA, we call as cornstarch.
In the UK cornstarch is referred to as cornflour.
To be sure, cornstarch is a very finely milled, smooth, white powder which we use for thickening soup.
My mom used to bake both egg and eggless cake and that's how I learnt baking cakes. But eggless, I keep saying I will and then I just chicken out! I will try this one someday, booking it :)
Loved ur cupcakes....Can we make cake flour and keep it for some time or should we always make it fresh everytime..?
love them...bookmarking
Lovely pics Pavi and the recipe is awesome... I really appreciate your patience to try the recipe so many times and come up with the correct measurements...
Kudos to your dedication..:))

cupcakes looking cute and awesome..and beautiful clicks. I had also tried the same recipe for making chocolate cupcake for the eggless cauldron cake challenge but without coffee.It is definitely a great recipe for eggless one.
These looks delicious! I love how they only make 6 cupcakes so you aren't swamped with 1 or 2 dozen laying around your kitchen.
When I make these I might us my Tofutti better than cream cheese spread to make a dairy free frosting.
I fell these are not only the best ever eggless cupcakes! but also the best ever clicked eggless cupcakes. Pavitra, you amaze inspire and motivate all with your lovely recipes and pics. This recipe will surely stay with me for a very long time.
very recipe. Thanks for sharing

Bookmarking this recipe. Looks yum and I want to try it.
Just wow, cant believe they are eggless, looks super moist and utterly delicious Pavi.
That looks perfectly moist and super delicious!
Your pictures are amazing! I love how you styled your food too. I really enjoyed browsing your site. Thank you for stopping by my blog!
these look great! can I use balsamic vinegar or would that change the taste of the cupcakes too much?
Eggless cae recipes are always exciting to me. I'm not quite sure why. These look absolutely gorgeous. Such a beautiful blog with lovely recipes. I'm glad to be here.

i love that these cupcakes are eggless. the vegan bakery in town has the tastiest chocolate cupcakes which i keep trying to replicate.. these might just do the trick!
I made these. But I was wondering if the vinegar should be 1 tsp and not 1 tbsp. The cupcakes were very good except for the fact that you get a slight smell of vinegar as you eat it. That apart it was excellent.
I just baked a batch of your cupcakes and they're truly delightful. Will be posting about them in my blog. When you have time please take a look! Amazing pictures too :)

@ Radha - I am glad you liked it. The Vinegar measurement which i have given is correct. Try using normal white or apple cider vinegar. DOn't use strong vinegar. Still if you feel that you get the smell of vinegar(In my case i did not get any) Substitute with yogurt or buttermilk. You will like it. Let me know.
@ Vidya I am glad you liked it.
Your cupcakes have turned out so well. Great job. Please let me know if vinegar can be replaced with yogurt. If yes, does the quantity differ? Thanks.
Hi pavithra......the baking bug has recently bit me .... So i am a newbie ......trying to learn on my own... Ur cupcakes look delightful. Just wanted to knoe tht if i have to put all purpose flour.... Hoe much do i need to put...... And i dont have cupcake liners. Can i directly put the batter in the moulds after greasing them?? Will it stick.??
All of your egg less cupcakes turn out great! Thank you so much for sharing, definitely a new favorite!
Hi.. Lovely receipe.. Thnx for sharing.. I am about to try ur receipe but wanted to know the flour used to prepare the cake flour is it Maida as you have mentioned just flour & in the notes you have mentioned we can try it with all purpose flour whic is maida so was wondering which flour to use if we have to prepare cake with cake flour.
I tried this recipe and the texture turned out to be perfect , but it tasted bitter , can u suggest something ??
@ Pooja - Its Maida (All purpose flour ) is used to make cake flour....
@ Sudarshana Sriram - Yes you can replace Milk+vinegar with Yogurt(not very thick). So the measurement is same as Milk.
I tried both vanilla n choc cupcakes and love them! Thanks for doing all the research! Well done!!
I notice a tinge of red in the cake. Sony think that was caused by some chem reaction between the baking soda/ vinegar and cocoa powder? Reminds me of red velvet cake!
I made these tonight and they are delicious! I've never made cupcakes or cake from scratch before and was a little worried about it...but no more box mixes for me!!
Hi, the cupcakes look delicious. I require to bake 70 tomorrow for a charity. I have a few questions-
1. Can you subsitue milk and vinager for equal quantity of curd ?
2. If I multiply the batter by 4 can I bake 12 cupckaes in two batches. Will the second batch rise properly as it would be sitting for 17 minutes till the first batch is ready. Should I refrigerate the batter for the second batch till the first batch is ready.
3. Can I add choclate chips and if yes , how many and when.
Thanks

Oops just realized there is no milk in this receipe:)! So first question above is not relevant !
Truly this is the most amazing and super easy egg-less chocolate cupcake recipe...thank you so much for sharing it!

Brilliant, I added 4 raspberries each & topped with almond flakes. Will be a food energy boost for my daughter's XX race tomorrow.
Thanks
