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

Please clarify my doubt.

Hi jaishree can u help me replace sugar with honey in your eggless chocolate recipe……thanks in advance☺
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….
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.
Hi Ishita
I will also try it in the same way …thanks
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.
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?
Yes You can replace oil with butter or even ghee… use the same quantity… measure the melted one
Hey
Can this cake be stored? Or does it have to be eaten warm?
