Eggless / Vegan Chocolate - Almond Pudding Cake

Why do all the scrumptious desserts have egg in them?  Why do people who cook with eggs have all the fun?  What can us who cannot cook with eggs at home make?

We can make this delicious eggless chocolate pudding cake.

Let me summarize what this pudding cake is all about:  When the cake batter is topped with hot water and put in oven, while baking the water becomes saucy and floats to the bottom, whereas the batter bakes into a cake and comes on top. That's why it becomes a "pudding cake" and that's what makes a pudding-cake a 2-in-1 treat!  And that's why this pudding cake is also known as "self-saucing chocolate pudding".

Crunch Munch with Eggless Chocolate Crunch Cookies

These eggless chocolate cookies are not the chewy kinds.  They are more of crunchy cookies, like chips.  Call these Chocolate Cookie Chips, instead of chocolate chip cookies.  But after the crunchy bite, they melt in your mouth.


These Chocolate Crunch Cookies from Shobha Indani's recipe don't require too many ingredients & are very quick and simple to make.  You can either roll the soft cookie dough out & then use a cookie cutter to cut into desired shape, or roll into balls & flatten like I did.

I hope I have made the procedure seem very easy - because making these eggless cookies really IS easy!

Eggless Chocolate Cake | Egg-free Baking | Chocolate Cake Recipe using Yogurt

Amid the hundred of different kinds of recipes for eggless chocolate cake, here I found another one from Shobha Indani’s cookbook ‘Swad Sugandh’ that worked.  It interested me because of the use of yogurt in this cake, but in the end the taste or smell of curd is just not noticeable at all in the cake.

I also used Almonds & Walnuts (totally optional), for this cake but you can add anything else you like.  As for the frosting, out of several trial and errors I came up with something that turned out fine.
