No Egg, No Butter, No Milk at All! - How to Make a Cake From Scratch (Vegetarian Chocolate Cream)

If you never tried this cake before, it would be hard to believe that a complete vegetarian cake with no eggs, no milk, no butter or any other ingredients can be so delicious.

Low-gluten flour, cocoa powder, vegetable oil, those are the main ingredients of today's chocolate cake. Decorated with thick chocolate cream made from the same coco powder, this cake leaves an endless aftertaste at the tip of your tongue.

I want to dedicate this cake to all the vegetarian friends. This is also a cake worth trying for non-vegetarians, because it's a relatively low calorie cake that spares you temporarily from the guilt of excessive animal fat and calorie.

Pour the well-mixed paste into an 8-inch square baking pan paved with greaseproof paper or tin foil, spread the paste evenly in the pan.
Pre-heat the oven to 180 ° C and then put in the pan and bake for 10 minutes or so, take out the cake for cooling.
Prepare the vegetarian chocolate cream. Pour chocolate syrup into the milk pan, add some sifted low-gluten flour and corn starch and mix evenly.
Heat the milk pan. While heating, keep stirring the mixture (use a wooden spoon or heat-resistant silicone spatula. Stir frequently so that the syrup won't be overly-burnt at the bottom.
When the syrup is boiling, turn off the heat and soak the milk pot in cold water. Keep stirring while the chocolate syrup is cooling. Fully cooled syrup will become very thick and creamy. Voila, the chocolate cream is done.
When the cake is fully cooled, cut it into 4 pieces.

Homemade Cake Recipes and Wedding Cake Recipes From Scratch

Making wedding cake recipes from scratch is not that difficult. Take it from me. I have been doing this for over 25 years now. The very first of my homemade wedding cakes was a carrot cake recipe and it was from scratch. Homemade wedding cakes are the best. The only time I EVER used a mix was in a high volume situation. It was exclusively the white wedding cake recipe that was slightly time consuming, and the chefs insisted upon my using their mix. If you have ever worked in a professional kitchen then you know how those head chefs can be at times, it is more about saving money and time, but for me it is so much more about quality. I did manage to sneak in all of my homemade fillings though.

Whether you are a professional pastry chef or an amateur baker making homemade wedding cakes for friends and family, these tips may help.

Homemade Cake Recipes and Wedding Cake Recipes From Scratch

Try to stick with a simple homemade recipe such as one that does not require a lot of fancy steps. A dump cake recipe is a good choice.
I know it does not sound so delicious but dump recipes basically have one requirement and that is that all ingredients get dumped into the bowl at once and mixed. And that is it. What could be easier than that? One of my best and most frequently requested cake is chocolate buttermilk dump recipe.
Have all of your ingredients measured out and at room temperature before you start the process of putting it all together.
Making a wedding cake if taken in steps is just a matter of multiplying your favorite homemade recipe and baking them off in larger pans.
Fill the cake pans 1/2 to 1/3 full. You can fill a pan a little more if using a lighter batter a little less when using a heavier batter. This is the part that you will need to judge as you gain experience.
Always grease, flour and put parchment or wax paper along the bottom of the pans.
Always let the cakes cool completely before covering and storing. You will need cardboard circles to put under each cake for support when lifting and moving the cakes.
You need to decide how many layers your cakes will be before baking, you can bake each layer separate or cut your cakes in half to make two layers. (It depends on how deep your pans are and how much you fill them as to how many layers you get out of each cake.) For wedding cakes I prefer using a two layer cake with one layer of filling because it keeps the cake a little more stable. But you will need to figure out your preferences.
