These eggless chocolate cupcakes are a treat that is rich in flavour and light in texture. The deep taste of chocolates is rounded without the need to use eggs. These cupcakes can be perfect for a vegetarian diet, those with egg allergies, or those wanting a lighter version of traditional chocolate cupcakes. Still, besides being eggless, the cupcakes are moist and tender and may have a deep chocolate flavour for kids and adults alike. The well-balanced ingredients make an eggless cupcake perfect. Replacing eggs with yoghurt, buttermilk, or flaxseed meal, for instance, yields a soft, airy texture that is no less tender than the traditional egg-based cupcake. In this recipe, cocoa powder will provide that rich, velvety chocolate taste, sweet yet slightly bitter. The cupcakes are often topped with a smooth chocolate ganache or frosting, which adds the creamy, luxurious finish each bite will provide. The best thing about eggless chocolate cupcakes is that they can be devoured as a simple snack or dressed up for special occasions. One can flavour the cupcakes with vanilla, coffee, or even orange zest to complement the chocolate. Add some sprinkles, chocolate chips, or nuts on top for that fantastic texture and visual appeal. The dark chocolate flavour combines well with the light crumb; each becomes irresistible. Whether it is a birthday, a festive gathering, or just a craving for something sweet, eggless chocolate cupcakes are perfect for any celebration.
Ingredients required for Eggless Chocolate Cupcake
- 1 1/2 cup maida
- 1 cup granulated sugar

- 1/2 cup oil

- 1 1/3 cup powdered sugar

Cooking steps for Eggless Chocolate Cupcake
- 1Start this recipe of eggless chocolate cupcake by preheating your oven to 180 C/350 F—this step is crucial for evenly baked cupcakes.
- 2While the oven warms up, line your cupcake tray with paper liners, making cleanup a breeze and ensuring your cupcakes look professional.
- 3In a large mixing bowl, sift together 11/2 cups (190 grams) of all-purpose flour, ⅓ cup (35 grams) of cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- 4Sifting keeps your dry ingredients light and lump-free, setting the stage for fluffy cupcakes.
- 5In another bowl, whisk together ¾ cup (150 grams) of granulated sugar, 1 cup (240 ml) of milk, ⅓ cup (80 ml) of vegetable oil, 1 tablespoon of white vinegar (this is the secret to super-soft cupcakes), and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- 6Mix until the sugar dissolves, and the wet ingredients are smooth.
- 7Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, folding gently with a spatula to combine.
- 8Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cupcakes dense instead of tender.
- 9Once the batter is silky and well-combined, spoon it evenly into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full to allow room for the batter to rise.
- 10Tap the tray gently on the counter to release any air bubbles lurking in the batter.
- 11Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes.
- 12Around the 18-minute mark, test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a cupcake—if it comes out clean or with a few crumbs, they're ready.
- 13Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the tray for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- 14While the cupcakes cool, prepare a luscious chocolate ganache by heating 1/2 cup (120 ml) of heavy cream until it's just about to boil, then pouring it over 100 grams of chopped dark chocolate.
- 15Stir until the chocolate melts into a glossy ganache, letting it cool slightly until thick enough to spread or pipe.
- 16Once the cupcakes are completely cool, frost them with the ganache, either by spreading it with a spoon for a rustic look or using a piping bag for elegant swirls.
- 17For an extra flair, top the frosted cupcakes with chocolate shavings, sprinkles, or a pinch of sea salt for a sophisticated twist.
- 18This eggless chocolate cupcake is everything!
