Eggless Whole Wheat Oats Cake Recipe-Whole Wheat Oats Chocolate Cake

December 6, 2015 by PadhuSankar 28 Comments

This whole wheat oats chocolate cake was moist, soft, lightly sweet and delicious with chocolate sauce topping. Once you measure all the ingredients and keep it ready, it is just a matter of few minutes to make this cake. Moreover you do not need any mixer to make this cake. I love to bake cakes with whole wheat flour, oats, millet flour and other food grains rather than maida/all purpose flour. I had noted down this recipe long time back from a food group and wanted to try it.  This cake can be had as a tea time snack or as a dessert. Today we will learn how to make eggless whole wheat oats chocolate cake following this easy recipe with step wise pictures.

In a bowl, mix oil and powdered sugar without lumps.

Add vanilla essence and milk (milk should be lukewarm) to the sugar + oil mixture.

Beat well until it is slightly foamy as seen in the picture below.

Add the dry ingredients kept aside, little at a time to the mixture and mix well without lumps.

adding the dry ingredients

Now our cake batter and the greased cake pan are kept ready.

Transfer the batter to the baking tin. I used a 7 1/2 inch round baking tin. You can use any baking tin but make sure that you leave enough space for the cake to raise. Do not fill the batter up to the brim.

Bake the cake in a pre-heated oven for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.

Once the cake cools a little, invert it on a wire rack, then transfer to a plate.

Spread chocolate sauce evenly on top (I used ready made Hershey’s chocolate sauce) and decorate it with sprinkles. Enjoy it as a snack or dessert.

You can make your own chocolate sauce. Check my eggless whole wheat ragi cake for the recipe.

You can also top the cake with vanilla ice cream and enjoy!!

      It will be mildly sweet. So if you plan to omit the sauce, add a little more sugar.

    Hi Padhu, I made this simple and healthy cake yesterday, it came out very nice. For the topping, I melted some chocolates lying in my fridge for a long time by double boiling method and poured on the cake. It was amazing. Thanks for eggless and butterless healthy recipe.

    Hi padhu..can you post us a picture of the measuring cups and spoons you use? I tried egg less ragi cake where the dry ingredients and wet ingredients when mixed together it wasn't blending and the mixture was semisolid and the cake came out hard as well.. But I m sure I followed every instruction you gave..I clearly understand that there is some problem with the measurement. If u mean 1 cup.. With my measuring cup the ingredients seem less when compared to the pics u post.

    Hi I tried the cake followed all instructions but it turned out hard. I had kept it in oven for 30 mins. It was also slightly burnt at base. I had used the glass iven tin. Is it issue of measurement or wrong container or I kept it for too long?

      The recipe and the measurement is perfect as it has been tried and tested by many readers. Check the temperature of the oven. It must have been too high. Container also plays an important role. Always fill only a little more than half. I have not used glass, so not sure. Aluminium and non stick containers are good.

    Old stock baking powder, over beating and your oven temperature could be the reason. Adding a little more sugar than mentioned is not the cause. Also bake in the middle rack and avoid opening the oven door in between baking.

    I'd kept it in the middle rack only but how it happened don't know…it came out half baked in the middle but hard on the sides…have been baking cakes many times but never happened like this before

      This eggless wheat oats cake is one of the best, fail proof, easy recipe. It might be due to the size of the baking tin/tray also. Never fill too much batter in the baking tin. The batter should be little more than half. Also do check your oven temperature.

    Hi. 1/2 cup powdered sugar means measure sugar first and then powder it or vice versa?

      Yes 1/2 cup powdered sugar means measure sugar first and then powder it otherwise I will mention it as Powdered sugar- 1/2 cup in ingredients list. In this recipe I have mentioned it as powdered sugar.

      Yes, but use sand or salt . Heat it, keep the cake tray and cover it with a lid.

    Hi, there doesn’t seem to be any ingredient replacing eggs like curd/condensed milk? Wondering if it still turns out the same way. Please clarify!
