FirstImpressions Of Top Eggless Chocolate Cake Mix
We feel that cake mixes are fabulous when it comes to ease of cooking, convenience and give you a chance to be as creative with desserts as possible! Who said that you need to stop at the cakes these mixes are used to bake?
These fool-proof cake mixes are great when you are trying to create a more complicated dessert, say a layered cake, or a pudding with fruits, custard, etc. For our trial of this product, we decided to add an egg to the cake mix, this was an optional ingredient in an otherwise eggless mix.
1. Method Of Preparation
*as per information on the pack.
- Mix 150 ml of milk and 70 g butter or veg oil in the bowl.
- Add the cake powder to the mix and stir well with a wooden spoon until the batter becomes smooth.
- Grease the insides of the baking pan with oil or butter and sprinkle with wheat flour.
- Pour batter into the baking pan and bake for 30-35 minutes.
2. The Outcome
We pressure-cooked the cake mix for 35 minutes. The outcome was quite impressive.
3. Taste and Aroma
The cake came out soft, and light. It looks quite spongy and smells good too. There is no eggy smell or aroma. We like that it is not overly sweet. This enables you to use the mix to create cakes that you can do much more too.
