Eggless Hershey's Perfectly Chocolate Cake




 Dear Friends ,

      This post is really special for me .. This is my First Post in the Blog and its the first time i am participating in the Egg less Baking owned by +Gayathri Kumar .I Just started following her blog only couple of weeks back and i happened to see her Baking Egg less Group . It was quite challenging because she suggests a recipe which has eggs in it and the members in the Baking Egg less Group converts the cake to Egg less version . So this time she picked Hershey's Perfectly chocolate cake as the recipe and everyone in the group converted and presented it as the egg less version.

   So  here comes the original recipe and my version of recipe . I just made only quarter of the recipe and  it yield  9 cupcakes. The changes i made was instead of vegetable oil i used Extra Virgin Olive oil without fragnance and little butter , Extra milk , Instead of eggs i  used Silken Tofu + 1/4 cup curd . The cupcakes were soo moist , spongy and it just melted in the mouth . And i garnished with simple chocolate butter cream Frosting.
