Baking | Eggless Chocolate Cake Recipe with Condensed Milk #eggless #celebration #easy




It was 17th of this month, that my little missy turned Three Years old..  An age where they become independent... A stage where the toddler makes their own decisions to suit their choices. They stand by them by hook or crook !!Fall on the floor rolling, Throw anything they can get hold off anywhere, bang their head , wee purposefully on the carpet, cry until they fall sick and what not...
Luckily lil miss doesn't do any of these at the moment.Touch wood !!! But her tantrums are different in her own ways!!


My lil miss wakes up in the morning and decides her outfit for the day, her footwear that she feels could pair and her accessories . She even wakes up many morning's now, deciding her chocolaty breakfast ... setting her own conditions... Its such a cute stage, where I feel like giving up on  everything she says..  But being a parent, we need to inculcate goodness, righteousness and mannerism in our children and that doesn't permit me at all...  I set my foot down saying  NO !! and a  condition to contradict..  Infact it was last week I started her Wee training and I had to trade in a sketch pen( she calls them markers) every time she wee-ed in the toilet..   Strange conditions and rewards isn't it ??
Really do not know what else is in stock for me ?? And what are the new challenges I m going to face  in this new Terrible Three Stage.

A few days before that, I had decided to make her birthday cake that we cut on the D- Day evening , after daddy and big brother return from work and school. So we went some candle shopping, picking her Pink No 3 one. A few more things to make it her perfect evening with the family. The big party with friends is planned for the weekend and a lot of things need to b sorted for that.
She has already decided about her Peppa Pig Cake that she wants to cut in the party, some Hello Kitty decorations , a pretty dress and more...  Thats completely a girly affair, I guess !


Two days before the birthday, the mother in me had decided to bake a cake for my daughter's perfect day.. Ingredients check done and we have everything needed for the Cake . A check box ticked in preparation. Guess on the 15th evening or so, when I was Facebook hopping in routine, came across a  Motion Oats picture posted by Sreelatha of Framed Recipes and I have been awe struck how its beautifully done. A few minutes later, Dolphia from Story of Cooks ( as I call her the Motion Queen ) replied with a few pointers.. And that was it !!! (( Don't forget to check out their blog's .. Its lovely ) It was around 6pm in the evening and I decided to give it a go.... With my camera on tripod and a remote in my hand , I sifted flour for a couple of minutes... and caught so many motion images...

Sigh!! An evening when I felt totally excited for achieving what I have been gawking at many times. The only slight hitch was the higher ISO I was shooting at.  So the next morning, I sifted the flour yet again, then some chocolate powder and what not...  Practice and Practice is all that is needed.


Don't forget to check out the recipe for this delicious eggless cake that is right at the bottom...

EGGLESS CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH CONDENSED MILK 



DRY INGREDIENTS

200g Plain Flour
1/2 Cup Coco Powder
2 Tsp Baking Powder
1 Tsp Baking Soda

WET INGREDIENTS

1 Tin Condensed Milk about 397 g
100g Unsalted Butter, melted
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
150 ml Water


For Chocolate Ganache
150g Milk Chocolate
150g Double Cream

Icing sugar as desired 

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat the oven to 150 C. Line the cake tin with a parchment paper.
Sift the flour, chocolate powder baking powder and baking soda. In a large mixing bowl combine the wet ingredients - condensed milk, unsalted butter, vanilla extract and water.  Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients mixture until just combined. Tip the mixture into the prepared cake tin and bake for 45- 55 minutes or until a cake skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean.  Allow it to cool in the tin and then carefully turn onto the wire rack and cool completely.
Ice the cake when the Top has gone cold. 
FOR CHOCOLATE GANACHE
Break the chocolate into small equal pieces and place them in a medium sized bowl. Heat the cream in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring them to boil , making sure they do not over boil and fall over. 
At this stage pour them over the chocolate and whisk steadily until smooth. Check for taste, if needed add some icing sugar . I did add about 1/2 cup of icing sugar , since the birthday girl would like it sweeter.
CAKE ASSEMBLING:
Place the cake on the cake stand .Frost the cake,by spreading the Ganache over the top, right in the middle and allow it spread. Since my daughter loves her milk chocolate, I have done some white chocolate lacing on top  and grated some more milk chocolate to give the chocolatey kick.
NOTES:
I would recommend to slice the cake into two, using a serrated knife and add some frosting in between. The cake in one piece is slightly dense.
