  1. Hi,
    I tried this recipe the only variation what I did is without using eggs and secondly in microwave. It worked! Worked wonders:) I used the baking soda and that too less than a half spoon and the whole mixture in microwave for 5 mins, leave it like that there with microwave off foe 1 min and then take it out let it settle out for a minute more….and the magic is ready to be tasted. THanks for sharing this recipe but you may tune it more to add eggless or microwave version too.
    Thanks,
    Prajakta

  2. Tried this recipe yesterday n it turned out to b a great one! Very easy too! My family loved it! Happy that now I need not stop my daughter from eating cakes! Goodbye maids!!

  3. i have made this cake today let me see how it turns out…. by cup its 200g rite??? i took cup to be 200g standard measurement………. hope i m write……. n fingers crossed hope it turns good enough for my daughter to eat……………..

  4. I tried this cake, it turned out good.
    but i took one and half cup flour, my 1 cup was – 250 grams
    so the cake dint turned out moist and soft, though the taste was good.
    now i will try again with only 1 cup flour.

  5. I want to try this recipe.
    can i use butter instead of refined oil? Since refined oil is not healthy.
    Please clarify my doubt.

    thank u

    • Hi Ritika
      Are you talking about the eggless chocolate cake recipe which i made from dates…… in that recipe you can add honey in place of sugar … if you are adding honey reduce the quantity of milk to 11/2 cup if you are using honey….

  6. The cake came out really nice. Thanks for the recipe. I replaced one egg with an overripe banana, and used jaggery instead of sugar. Was wonderful, very flavorful.

  7. Hi. Please can you clarify whether you mean baking soda or baking powder in this recipe? It says baking powder in the ingredient list and then baking soda in the method. Which is right? Wanna try this recipe.

  8. Hi can I replace oil with butter, If yes the quantity, whether melted or sticks? If melted butter, then should we have to melt and use or measure it and melt?
