Nescafe Chocolate Cake (Eggless): Simplicity Wins

Buying ingredients is one thing, but actually using them up? That's a whole different ball game. I mean, who wants to see their hard-earned money go to waste? Not me! Take this box of fancy cocoa powder I bought - it's like the never-ending story. Seriously, it feels like it’s multiplying in the pantry. Maybe I was a bit overenthusiastic at the store, or maybe it's just one of those things that doesn't come in a small size. You know what I mean?

So, here I am, determined to finish this cocoa powder before it expires. And guess what? I’m storing it in the fridge because, let's face it, our Malaysian weather can turn cocoa into a science experiment if you leave it out too long. And since I was on a mission to use it up, I thought, why not whip up a Nescafe Chocolate Cake? I mean, why bother buying more coffee (EGGLESS MILO CAKE) when I’ve got Nescafe right here? So, here’s a cake that’s got it all: coffee, cocoa, and no eggs. It’s like a delicious dark knight in cake form - rich, moist, and vanilla-scented (SUJEE CAKE ELEGANCE).

The best part? No need for a fancy mixer or expert baking skills. This cake is so easy, even a newbie can nail it. Moral of the story? Simplicity is the real winner here. And for those who think a cake has to be complicated to impress, well, time to rethink that!

 

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup cocoa powder

2 tsp Nescafe

1 cup yogurt (I used plain, no-fuss yogurt)

3/4 cup powdered sugar

3/4 tsp baking powder

3/4 tsp baking soda

1 tsp vanilla essence

1/2 cup neutral oil (like olive or vegetable oil)

 

Method

Sift flour, cocoa, and Nescafe together twice. Set aside.

In another bowl, whisk yogurt, sugar, and vanilla until combined.


Add baking soda and baking powder, give it a quick whisk, and then leave it alone for 2 minutes.

Pour in the oil and gently fold in the sifted dry ingredients. No lumps, please!


Pour the batter into a greased baking pan.

Bake at 175°C for about an hour or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Let it cool, then slice it up and enjoy!
