Crazy Cake with Chocolate Ganache
Watch the video for this recipe:
I have discovered this crazy chocolate cake only recently and I must say I fall in love with it immediately. It is somehow very similar to the recipe used in the Chocolate Rose Cake but it is an eggless version. I was required an eggless recipe for quite a long time so here it is. One of the most delicious cakes, moist and chocolaty, full of flavor and almost melting in your mouth.
It is so quick to prepare, no eggs, butter or milk are used and you don’t even need to grease the pan. All ingredients are mixed directly in the pan simply using a whisk. That easy, but nobody will know after the way it looks and taste.
I’ve made a ganache for the top just to make it more fancy and attractive, but feel free to use any other frosting or topping idea. You can also serve it warm with some ice cream on top.
Definitely a last minute cake you can prepare when guests have just arrived. Everybody will love it and ask for the recipe. Enjoy!

Hi Roha, i never tried this recipe with cake flour but i'm pretty sure it's ok. Let me know if you try and how it turned out. Thanks
Hi Gloria, yes you can almost always substitute vegetable oil and canola oil for each other:)
Usually i use apple cider vinegar.
Stay tuned for more fun and delicious recipes:)
Thank you
You are sweet and i'm happy that you like it:) Thank you for this message
Hello, try coconut oil, should work as good, And for vinegar try lemon juice or apple cider. Have a good day:)
What flour did you use? Hope you used the exact amounts, also, did you use the baking soda+vinegar? Did you bake it enough?
Bake it until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean
Hello Quyen.
It is better to be kept in the fridge, because of the mouse.
