Looking for a birthday cake recipe that skips the eggs but still keeps the cake moist and soft? Then try this simple eggless chocolate birthday cake recipe. It’s made from whole wheat flour, specifically Aashirvaad Shudh Chakki Atta, because it includes 0 per cent maida, and is made of 100 per cent whole wheat grains. Moreover, this is a one-bowl recipe that is easy enough for beginners to follow and requires minimal prep. This birthday cake recipe keeps things simple and skips frosting or decoration. However, you can dust the cake with cocoa powder for a deep, sophisticated look that won't melt. Or add rainbow sprinkles for a fun, birthday-style finish.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F). Grease a round baking pan (7.5 inches in diameter x 2 inches in height) with oil.
