    Chocolate Semolina Cake– this delicious eggless semolina cake can be made plain or flavored with strawberry. It is moist and delicious with a beautiful melt-in-the-mouth texture.

    Today is unofficially the start of spring break for my kids and I'd like to share the recipe for the cake I made for them as a little celebration of Spring Break. It seemed appropriate given how much they like chocolate and how much they like cake. Moreover, it has been a while since I shared a cake recipe. The last cake recipe I shared (Mandarin Orange Cupcake) is almost four months old now.

    When I decided to make a chocolate cake for this post, I wanted to try one without using all-purpose flour as much as possible. I did have a few unsuccessful trials but got it right eventually. As always the recipe is vegan...so no dairy and no eggs! I used Semolina and wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour and it turned out to be a good replacement. With no compromise in moistness or taste, I'm happy to say this recipe tastes super chocolate-y and has a great substitute for an expensive and (usually) unhealthy store-bought cake.

    Expert Tips

    I mixed apple cider vinegar with the non-dairy milk and let it settle for a minute for mixing in other ingredients. Also, you have to make sure that the semolina is not too thick. Semolina comes in several forms and generally, the thinner it is, the better.

    Apart from that, the directions are very easy to follow. This Chocolate Cake pairs very well with a hot cup of coffee or with a big scoop of this Ice cream.

      The crumb certainly is moist and the smart choice of using WWF and semolina along with chocolate is super. Home bakes are anyways heathy, we can always tweak things, add healthy ingredients, limit sugar etc .. sky is the limit. Glad your kids enjoyed this yum treat. Breaks are all about their fav foods and nothing better than a slice of cake.
