Recipe Overview

This eggless version of the Chocolate Bundt Cake retains the richness and soft crumb of the classic. Yogurt and hot water combine to create an airy, moist structure, while the vinegar activates the baking soda to lift the batter beautifully. The result is a visually stunning, indulgent chocolate cake with a deep cocoa flavor, perfectly molded in a Bundt pan. It''s ideal for vegetarians and anyone avoiding eggs without compromising on taste or texture.

Recipe Detail

• Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a cast aluminum Bundt pan well with oil or butter. Lightly dust with flour and tap out the excess.
• In a mixing bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set this dry mix aside.
• In a separate bowl, whisk the curd and sugar until the mixture is smooth and slightly fluffy.
• Add in the oil, vanilla extract, and vinegar. Mix until everything is fully combined.
• Pour in the milk and whisk until you get a smooth base.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, folding gently with a spatula until just combined.
• Finally, add the hot water and mix gently until the batter becomes smooth and pourable.
• Transfer the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and tap gently to release any air bubbles.
• Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a cooling rack.
• Allow it to cool completely before slicing. Enjoy as is or with a dusting of powdered sugar or fresh berries.
