Eggless Chocolate Sponge Cake: A Rich and Luscious Base
The Eggless Chocolate Sponge Cake using Condensed Milk is a phenomenal recipe that forms the perfect base for wondrous dessert creations. As the saying goes, the sponge makes the cake, and this version delivers a soft, spongy, luscious texture with an awesomely rich mouth-feel and intense flavor. For vegetarians or anyone avoiding eggs, this no egg chocolate sponge cake is a delicious solution. The use of condensed milk in place of eggs provides a distinct milky richness that truly pampers the taste buds and results in a cake with excellent texture.
Preparing the Dry and Wet Ingredients
To begin this eggless chocolate sponge cake, first prepare your dry ingredients. Sieve the plain flour (maida), cocoa powder, baking powder, and baking soda together into a bowl and set this mixture aside. This sifting step is essential for incorporating air and ensuring a light crumb. Next, in a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients: the creamy condensed milk, the melted butter, and the fragrant vanilla essence. Mix well until they are perfectly blended.
Creating the Batter to Dropping Consistency
Now, carefully combine the prepared mixtures. Add the sieved plain flour-cocoa mixture to the condensed milk blend. Crucially, add 5 to 7 tablespoons of water to thin the batter. Using a spatula, mix gently until the ingredients are just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can develop gluten and toughen the cake. The goal is to achieve a dropping consistency—a consistency where the batter falls easily from the spatula.
Preparing the Pan and Baking
Before pouring the batter, ensure your cake tin is ready. Grease the sides of a 175 mm (7”) diameter tin with melted butter. Then, dust with plain flour (maida) and sift it to ensure uniform distribution; shake and tap the tin to remove the excess flour. Pour the prepared cake batter into the greased and dusted tin and spread it evenly. Bake the cake in a pre-heated oven at 180∘C (360∘F) for 40 to 45 minutes or until done.
Checking and Unmoulding the Sponge
The eggless chocolate sponge cake using condensed milk is ready when it naturally leaves the sides of the tin and is springy to touch. Once baked, promptly remove the tin from the oven. To unmould the sponge, invert the tin over a plate and tap sharply. This quick action helps release the cake easily. Keep the eggless chocolate sponge cake aside to cool completely on a rack before slicing or decorating.
Serving and Usage Versatility
This delicious no egg chocolate sponge cake is incredibly versatile. It is so tasty that it can be served as a simple, comforting evening tea snack with just a glass of milk. Alternatively, its rich, sturdy structure makes it the ideal foundation for more elaborate desserts. Use the eggless chocolate sponge cake as a base for exotic creations by lining it with fresh fruits and cream, or decorating it with catchy icing figures. It is an excellent choice for a simple sweets for kitty party or any casual gathering.

The recipe is pretty simple and it makes a great cake. The only reason why I gave it 4 stars is because I felt there was a need to add sugar when I tasted my cake.

There are a few different factors that could be causing your cakes to turn out hard. One reason is that your oven may be too hot. You can also try checking your cake with a toothpick inserted in the middle a few minutes before the recipe says it should be done because all ovens work differently. Overbeating can also cause the cake to come out dense. Ensure the ingredients are fresh and not expired.

This is a lovely recipe. However, my family thinks this is too sweet for their preference. Can I reduce the amount of condensed milk? What should I adjust in order to keep the texture. Besides, if we would like to have lighter texture, how can this be adjusted? Thanks in advance.

Hi, you can reduce the sweetness of condense milk by reducing 1/4 cup of condense milk and adjust the consistency by little milk.. to keep the cake lighter.. avoid over mixing of the batter..
