I call this my ‘one-bowl’ choco-walnut cake…. No points for guessing here, it’s adding all the ingredients in one bowl, mixing and baking super simple!!
And guess what it’s eggless; I have simplified this further by posting step-by-step pictures so that you know it’s as easy as it looks and make it!
Here’s what I put in the cake

Steps

1

Take a large bowl, first sieve the flour (maida)
2

Next sieve the 1/4th cup cocoa powder in the same bowl
3

Next sieve the powdered sugar
4

This is after I have sieved the powdered sugar
5

Next add 1/2 tsp each of baking soda and baking powder
6

Then add 5 tbsp spoon of milk (room temperature)
7

Then add 5 tbsp of melted unsalted butter
8

Then add 6 tbsp of sour curd and mix well
9

Take the roughly chopped walnuts and dust them with 1-2 tsp of flour (maida) to remove any moisture, and add to the cake mix.
10

Add these to the cake mix
11

Add 1/2 tsp of vanilla essence and fold in, grease a 6 inch cake tin with butter.
12

In the mean time pre heat the oven to 180 degree celsius, pour the cake mix in the tray and bake for 20 -25 mins.
13

To check if the cake is baked, insert a clean knife or skewer in the middle of the cake, if it comes out clean means the cake is baked. If not bake for another 5 minutes. {*I have an LG microwave convection oven and the Choco- Walnut cake baked in exact 20 minutes.}
14

This is how it looks once out of the oven :)). let it cool for 20-30 minutes, then remove on a tray and cover it with chocolate icing... recipe given below with pictures :))
15

Icing - Once the cake is completely cooled, remove and place it on a plate, mix the icing sugar, cocoa powder and water together to a thick consistency.
16

Pour over the cake, I love that the cake has a few cracks, the icing just seeps in and makes this a rich moist cake which everyone will devour!
17

Cover the cake generously with chocolate icing! Top is with walnut and serve!
18

Or you can keep it in the fridge and serve later!!
