Рецепт Eggless chocolate cake with basic chocolate frosting
In the previous post I have expressed concern over Google’s feedburner stats, it has now become visibly clear that Google has chosen to shut down the API after years of neglecting it. I have just come across this article in Tech Crunch, and how things will shape up in the future for the bloggers and websites, remains to see. And don’t forget you can always connect with saffronstreaks through our FB page : https://www.facebook.com/saffronstreaks
Having said that there is one more small news I would love to share with you all. Your’s truly Saffronstreaks has got special mention in “Bluestar top 100 foodie bloggers of 2012“ and that makes us so happy ! I know it is not a big deal but that someone has appreciated our effort in making this blog delicious is definitely a big deal for us !
So a small celebration time with our first tryst in eggless baking – we bring you simple and basic eggless chocolate cake with real simple chocolate frosting. I love eggs and I love eggs in baking too, actually am not very much into eggless baking, but at times situation perplexed me when I wished, I should have known some eggless baking too !
This recipe of eggless chocolate cake will definitely suits people who are allergic to eggs and has other dietary restrictions. I have adapted the recipe from none other than “Joy of Baking” , and to bring my personal touch into this I have added real pieces of dark and bitter chocolate in to it, first to enhance its flavour and second to make it extra moist. This is very snacky kind of cake, not any fancy torte, it can be enjoyed with simple dusting of sugar or with chocolate frosting. I deliberately reserve my chocolate ganache for the tortes, hence this time with real simple chocolate frosting with few colorful sprinkles all over it.
