Eggless Coca Cola Cake

Has the 1/3rd coca cola in the bottle ever bothered you? I am stuck with a few of them each time we order pizza. I dont drink fizzy drinks so the husband has to fend for himself, not that he minds it 🙂

I got such a lovely response from people for this cake that I had to post the recipe as soon as I could. Thank you generous people 🙂

So here it goes. You shall need (Makes one 7″-8″ cake)

1 cup… All purpose Flour/Maida

3/4 cup… Castor sugar (Fine grain white sugar will also do)

3 tbsp… Good quality cocoa

1 tsp… Baking soda

1 tsp… Baking powder

1/2 tsp… Salt

1/3 cup… Oil

1/3 cup… Unsalted butter (If you use salted butte then skip the salt mentioned in the recipe)

1/3 cup… Butter milk (In 1/3 cup milk, add 4-5 drops  of vinegar and let it stand for 5 min)

1 cup.. coca cola (Which is roughly about 1/3 of the 300 ml bottle)

To assemble:

Filling of your choice {I used the pillsbury white butter cream icing and tuti frutti}

Nutella

Decorations

Method:

• Pre heat oven to 180C and line the cake mould with butter paper.
• Sift all the baking powder, baking soda, salt, cocoa and all purpose flour.
• Add sugar and whisk it in.
• In a small pan,heat the oil and butter until the butter is melted. Cool it down for 5-7 min.
• Make a well in the dry ingredients and add the oil-butter mix and butter milk.
• At this point we only want to mix it slightly and dont want to make a dough.
• Now add the coca cola and stir it all until well incorporated.
• The batter shall be thin but that is what we are looking for.
• Do not over mix and pour in the lined container.
• Bake for 20-25 min or until a skewer inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean.
• The cake would have risen beautifully but shall sink a bit when it s cooling down.
• The cake is extremely soft and moist so handle it carefully.
• I layered the cake but then after doing that found it to be not such a good idea given that the cake is so soft.
• You can put in a filling of your choice or just top it off with nutella and share with love.

Cheers,
